Review of In a Lonely Place (1950) by Matthew C — 16 Apr 2011
One of Bogart's most personal roles, I also think it's probably his best performance. Cutting painfully close to home, it paints the picture of a troubled man, driven by passions both violent and tender.
It's an ugly movie, filled with grim visions of a man's darker side. Bogart is fantastic, and Gloria Grahame is fascinating. Typical of the era, there's a good deal of clever dialog, and some fun innuendo.
A must for Bogart fans.
