Bogie and Bacall

Sir, – When RTÉ newscasts referred to the late Lauren Bacall as “the woman who tamed Humphrey Bogart” the station was confusing their coruscating screen duels with reality. As the fabulous Bacall was fond of saying: “Bogie in real life was a kitten; he couldn’t fight his way out of a paper bag!” Yours, etc,
