Description

When a gifted but washed-up screenwriter with a hair-trigger temper Humphrey Bogart (Casablanca), in a revelatory, vulnerable performance becomes the prime suspect in a brutal Tinseltown murder, the only person who can supply an alibi for him is a seductive neighbor (The Big Heat s Gloria Grahame) with her own troubled past. The emotionally charged In a Lonely Place, freely adapted from a Dorothy B. Hughes thriller, is a brilliant, turbulent mix of suspenseful noir and devastating melodrama, fueled by powerhouse performances. An uncompromising tale of two people desperate to love yet struggling with their demons and each other, this is one of the greatest films of the 1950s, and a benchmark in the career of the classic Hollywood auteur Nicholas Ray (Rebel Without a Cause). BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES - New 2K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack - New audio commentary featuring film scholar Dana Polan - I m a Stranger Here Myself, a 1975 documentary about director Nicholas Ray, slightly condensed for this release - New interview with biographer Vincent Curcio about actor Gloria Grahame - Piece from 2002 featuring filmmaker Curtis Hanson - Radio adaptation from 1948 of the original Dorothy B.

    • "I lived a few weeks while she loved me."
This is a review for IN A LONELY PLACE (1950) which was one of my favorite Bogart movies for years but with the rise in popularity of film noir it's hardly the unknown film it once was. Which is all right by me, the more people who see something that's really good, the more chances there'll be of other good films being seen and appreciated, I believe. IN A LONELY PLACE concerns an almost washed up screenwriter, Dixon Steele, played by Humphrey Bogart, who gets a chance to adapt a somewhat windy best selling "epic novel" into a screenplay as the basis for what hopefully will be a popular film. These words are not spoken in the film but it looks like this could be Dix Steele's last chance at a financially as well as artistically successful screenplay. Dix has a few problems, mainly drinking and a flashpoint temper that has led to a few violent episodes in the past including some involving the police. And now he is visibly aging but not necesarily mellowing. In truth, Dix is not enamored with the bestseller he has been given to adapt and when a enthusiastic checkroom girl named Mildred Atkinson , played by a Martha Stewart, gushes over the book and the possiblilty of a movie based on it, Dix gives her the job of coming back to his apartment to read the tome to him so he might have some idea of the book without exerting any undue effort. So the check room girl breaks her date with her banker boyfriend and goes with Dix to his courtyard apartment to dig into the book. Unfortunately things don't work out too well and Dix gives the girl some money for cabfare home and looking bone tired, says he's going to bed. Next thing he knows it's 5 AM and an old army buddy, now a plainclothes detective, well played by Frank Lovejoy, is ringing his doorbell wanting to talk with him about Mildred Atkinson. It turns out she was murdered before she could get a cab and Dix was the last known person to have seen her alive. While being questioned at the station house Dix answers to a police question that one person did see him when he said goodnight to Mildred Atkinson, a woman who lives across the courtyard. As it turns out the woman, Laurel Gray, played by Gloria Grahame, has taken notice of Dix and is aware that he is a screenwriter. As the film progresses so does the relationship between Dixon Steele and Laurel Gray. They both seem to get along well and she helps him with the screenplay, which needs a lot of help apparently. At times Dix forgets everything of the outside world, his mind is strictly involved with his writing for the first time in many years. A lot of that has to do with Laurel's keeping his mind on the track of the story. But occassionally another violent incident will occur, sometimes with Laurel there to witness it. In the meantime the police investigation seems to be progressing slowly if at all and Dix is still a primary suspect. Sometimes Laurel can't help but wonder with the evidence of Dix's sometimes violent nature if he's the one who killed MIldred Atkinson. In fact, that's the noirish part of the story that I enjoy most, the audience is left wondering if Dixon Steele can't control himself with "these kids in their cut-down cars" how would Dix react to an actual turndown from a young pretty girl? Especially after a couple of drinks, would he take it as a personal insult, something that had to be avenged immediately? That's the crux of the decision that Laurel has to make about Dix and herself.....and the decision the audience has to make about Dixon Steele and the entire story of IN A LONELY PLACE. It is a romance as well as a murder mystery with plenty of noir trappings thrown in, not just to confuse the characters, but to hold the audience in a gloomy cloud of suspense for as long as possible. And a fine job by everyone involved, IN A LONELY PLACE is a memorable film, one that will hold your interest, to say the least, from beginning to end. "I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me." Humphrey Bogart as Dixon Steele in IN A LONELY PLACE (1950). ... show more

    • A DEEPLY MOVING FILM!
Filmed in 1950, this film is brilliantly directed by Nicholas Ray. Its production company, Santana Productions, was Bogart's own (Santana was the name of his yawl), which he started in 1948 and sold to Columbia Pictures in 1954, the problem being that his company simply couldn't outbid the large studios for properties he wanted, i.e., Dead End and The Detective Story (some of Santana's films included Knock on Any Door, Tokyo Joe and Sirocco, which Bogart himself called "a stinker"). Eric Lax, the definitive biographer of Humphrey Bogart, believes that he was drawn to this role because he could so closely identify with the character's inner turmoil, problems with women, and a rocky relationship with the ups and downs of the film industry itself. The character he plays is also a heavy drinker. Perhaps because of the similarities, and because Bogart was so greatly talented, his performance in this film leaves one in awe. It is wide and deep, cruel and unbelievably tender, and very, very moving. Gloria Grahame gives unquestionably the best performance of her career. The role was to go to Lauren Bacall, but Warner Brothers refused to lend her to Santana Productions for the film. Though I admire Bacall's early work, I am glad we got Grahame with her flower-like fragility. It is a murder mystery, but more it is an in-depth character study and even a life study. Dix (Bogart's character) is full of rage which he has for years refused to confront. Laurel (Grahame's character) is lost. Both her film career and her search for a meaningful love are illusive at best. They genuinely fall deeply in love. Was she not strong enough? Was he not brave enough? We see what could have been, and are left with what will never be. My great compliments to Art Smith, whom I consider to be the greatest character actor of his time (he played the psychiatrist in Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid, one of William Powell's later films). The scene in which he is violated is a great moment in film. Hats off to a deeply moving film, brutally honest and perfectly executed, each performance being a gem of its own. ... show more
