Bergman once revealed in an interview that, despite starring in the classic film together, she felt like she didn't really know Bogart at all.
She said: "He used to stay very much to himself.
"They used to ask me if I knew him and I'd say: 'No I don't know him, I've kissed him but I don't know him!'"
