In a Lonely Place description
One of Humphrey Bogart's finest performances dominates this unusual 1950 film noir, which focuses less on the murder mystery at the center of its plot than on the investigation's devastating effect on a fragile romance.

He is Dixon Steele a screen writer, usually in trouble for starting fights. He picks up sweet young thing Mildred & takes her to his place. Not to seduce her, but to tell him about a book she has just read & he is to write the screenplay for. Too tired or drunk to take her home he gives her cab fare. The next morning she is found along a road, dead. Given the fact that she was last seen with him & his violent temper he becomes the prime suspect. Strangely, this highly amuses him. He demonstrates how she was killed & seems to know a lot. But there is no evidence & besides he has an alibi. His neighbor, Laurel (Gloria Grahame) covers for him. They commence a romance, & he seems invigorated, throwing himself into his writing & incidentally, Laurel. As their relationship becomes more serious, Laurel notices how trivial things enrage Dix. She become fearful of him & this comes to a head the day they become engaged. She realizes she cannot marry him. When he suspects this he becomes utterly unhinged. A little gem of a movie. |
