    Lamazing lead, Headwaiter Tim. La Maze was also the Battling Bogarts‘ favourite waterhole or shall we say battleground. One night an overall fistfight ensued, Bogart dove under a table only to find David Niven and his wife already hiding there. But Mrs. Bogart ,Mayo, was missing. When asked where she was, Bogey replied stoney faced:“No worry, she can handle herself.“

      thank you, pardner, for the extra mayo. the battling bogies were right up there (or was it right down there) with the fighting flynns. “Sluggy” and Tiger Lil could have been quite a tag team.

      “Drinking binges led to arguments that were so volatile, the two became known as the “Battling Bogarts” by the press. According to Portland Monthly, the pair were caught “drunkenly firing guns in the middle of the night” during a World War II USO tour. It’s even been reported that Methot stabbed Bogart in the shoulder at one point.”
