This is called Talent -- with a big "T". He's not just out there doing one-liners. He creates a mini one-act play and does all the parts. Mr. Marks exhibits enormous creativity here. What a great performer, comedian and actor!
THANK YOU!!! You Tube had taken down the Guy Marks clip from the Dean Martin show where Marks did this same, but modified routine. Here he doesn't mention the stars of the film - Bogart, Cooper and Mitchum as he later did. Marks is brilliant.his Cooper and Bogart are uncanny! Thanks again!!!!
I can't think of anyone in the field of comedy who was funnier than Guy Marks. Thank God Dean Martin realized his talent with several shots on his TV show (does anyone remember his ostrich, fly and lizard?), I used to do Guy's ostrich for my college buddies and they fucking died! His Gary Cooper truly is uncanny. He got the whole package: body language, attitude and voice----channeling..........If you really want to know how great he was, check out Rickles' reactions during the roast.
There has never been a single impression among the greats better than Marks doing Bogart. Gorshin was the best overall by far, but Marks Bogart was 100% perfect.

Greg, He was truly amazing. I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Marks on my very first cruise ship gig, when I was just 19.

@serpico56 You are so right. I miss that clip, which is superior to this one on Hollywood Palace.
I had the wildest dream last night. Fred McMurray was in a porn movie. I think I need to stop drinking before I go to bed.
