| Description: | Use this one or Catalog # 514156. Also same as Catalog # 514272. Cancer Society Pitch, In Memory of Humphrey Bogart. Still image of actor HUMPHREY BOGART; the words "In Memoriam" appear. Actress DEBORAH KERR addresses camera: "I don't think I need to describe to you the person whose photo you just saw. He was up here on the screen where you see me now many more times than I've been." She holds up some still photographs (production stills?) and flips through them for the camera, continues speaking. "He was an artist, a man with a great sense of humor, a hero, a world-famous figure. He was tough, he was good. He was a fellow player. He was Humphrey Bogart. What should you do when a colleague dies? Many people have many answers to that. But in Bogey's case, I think the answer is colored by a problem we just don't know enough about: cancer. And cancer, when it strikes close to you, assumes great seriousness. You begin to feel, as I do, that costly cancer deaths... must be stopped. Can be stopped. And the American Cancer Society is working to do just that. That's why you should give to the American Cancer Society. Actually, I don't have to give you any reasons why you should give. They are very, very obvious, and you know them as well as I do. Just give to your American Cancer Society." She holds up a giant fake envelope and tells us where to send our contributions.
