The year before his Oscar winning performance in The African Queen, In a Lonely Place delivers one of Bogart's finest performances; dark and complex. Gloria Grahame is gorgeous and her performance equally stunning. She stands toe to toe with one of the greatest actors of Hollywood's Golden Age and never faulters. Text book Film Noir, In a Lonely place should not be missed by fans of the genre.

Brilliant dialogue, and the Criterion rework is worth the price of the film by itself; the story felt a bit contrived towards the end, but perhaps I felt that due to often seeing Bogie in films where the dialogue has been supreme. It's a good thing, this film. I wonder how it'd played with Bacall as the female lead.

In a Lonely Place doesn't fulfill my excitement to the utmost. [spoiler] It isn't a movie with a "surprise finish"[/spoiler]. Nonetheless it has some decent virtues. It's a must watch for Film-Noir fans. It has promising dialogs, and great acting. To be honest, It's probably Bogart that kept me hooked until the ending. Overall, it's definitely worth a watch.

I disliked Bogart's character almost from the outset. But I hung in there and realized the "lonely place" was really this gray area where he could have been the killer or he could be a killer. That's what is noir about this film; is its pessimism about Dix's everlasting character defects that keep him forever in the "lonely place".

Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame are on great form in this complex and intricate crime noir. He ("Dixon") is a down-on-his-luck writer who finds himself squarely in the eyes of the police, suspected of murder. Fortunately, and somewhat out of the blue, his neighbour turns up at the station and giv More

Clinically excellent noir drama.

Plot Summary - First Paragraph

Screenwriter Dixon Steele is very talented, he also drinks too much and is prone to outbreaks of shocking violence. Thus the studios are reluctant to hire him, but through sheer determination, his agent manages to get him a covet More
