Fact is, every film Humphrey Bogart starred in could have had his name as Bogart Humphrey and they all would still have been as good. And if that opening sentence was unnecessarily convoluted, prepare yourself for the staggering pointlessness of the rest of this post.
For it is a look at the 1941 film The Maltese Falcon.
Nothing to do with Maltesers. It’s just a man bloke, a human woman, two guns, and the legendary line “The Stuff that dreams are made of”. Let’s go wordplay on that one, eh?
The stuff that dreams are made of
The stuff that dreams are made off
Off or of? We prefer off.
The stuff dreams are made of
It’s a fact that 99% of times that “that” is used in any conversation it’s irrelevant. That’s the truth and we’ve proven it here once again.
The stuff that dreams is made of
Bit of a grammatic failure there and we bloody well love it.
The stuff that baked beans are made of
Baked beans and Humphrey Bogart? This superb film should have existed. Script idea: Humphrey Bogart investigates the stuff that baked beans are made of. Plot twist—turns out it’s beans.
The stuff that jeans are made of
Cotton denim. Pretty simple that one.
The stuff that Dreamies are made of
These are a popular UK treat for cats and our cat, Susan, is very fond of them indeed.
The stuff that dreams are afraid of
That’d be a nightmare then, non?
The stuff that dreams are remade of
Recycling dreams is a good idea in our environmentally conscious times.
The foodstuff that dreams are made of
You heard it here first! Dreams are made from baked beans.
The dandruff that dreams are made of
Dreams about dandruff must be some of the worst nightmares imaginable. Is this some hidden insecurity in Bogart’s psyche? Dandruff? Must be why he’s always wearing that hat.
The stuff that MS Teams are made of
MS Teams—everyone’s favourite chat system.
The stuff that ice creams are made of
Milk, cream, and lots of sugar. Easy one. Next!
The stuff The Supremes are made of
Diana Ross, Florence Balard, and Mary Wilson. And look at all those beehive hairdos. Tres bon.
And finally…
The stuff that streams are made of
Water? Yes. Yes, it’s water.
