Review of In a Lonely Place (1950) by Sarfaraz A — 29 Mar 2011
This film-noir directed by Nicholas Ray starring Humphrey Bogart as screenwriter Dixon Steele, and Gloria Grahame as Laurel Gray. Bogart gives me chills through his character of Dixon Steele, and I kind of got blown away, with his ending performance.
In A Lonely Place, occupies same attention toward Hollywood-cinema, such as other masterpieces released same year, Billy Wilder's Sunset Blvd. as well as Joseph Mankiewicz's All About Eve.
Pure focus over Bogart's questionable personality, and myth is so masterfully done, at some place; we happen to believe the mystery to be true, and at some, we just happen to fall in love with Bogart's temper. Bogart's performance should be counted amongst finest, from his critically acclaimed movies.
Bogart brings echo, exactly from the Casablanca character. One of finest pictures of Bogart. Cinematography has been artistically done, by Burnett Guffrey.
