Ray wrings plenty of sweat from the Hitchcockian premise, and Bogart outdoes himself as a man mid-breakdown.

Just when hotheaded Hollywood screenwriter Dixon Steele (Humphrey Bogart) begins a romance with his neighbor Laurel (Gloria Graham), the police begin to suspect him of murdering a woman he only briefly knew. Laurel believes in Dixon's innocence, but his alibi doesn't wash with the police. As the cops continue to pressure Dixon, the lovebirds' relationship begins to crumble--nor does Dixon's increasing hot-tempered behavior help matters. Soon, Laurel begins to suspect that the police may be right after all...Nicholas Ray's classic, brooding film noir showcases an uncharacteristically vulnerable Bogart and delivers a sharp surprise ending that is one of the most tragic in cinema history.

Reviews for In a Lonely Place
It's a breathtaking work, and a key citation in the case for confession as suitable material for art.
Director Nicholas Ray maintains nice suspense. Bogart is excellent. Gloria Grahame, as his romance, also rates kudos.
Oferecendo uma das melhores atuações de sua brilhante carreira, Bogart cria um indivíduo assustadoramente ambíguo, enquanto Grahame ilustra com talento o conflito emocional de sua personagem.
A near-analytic treatise on the danger of faith in image and artifice, it also offers the wholly compelling image of Humphrey Bogart himself.
This dark drama from 1950 ranks in the upper echelons of the Humphrey Bogart canon.
