Another classic film noir on the dark side of Hollywood, featuring Humphrey Bogart as a screenwriter accused of murder and Gloria Grahame as the new love struggling to believe he’s innocent.
“A crisp black-and-white film with an almost ruthless efficiency of style. It taps into the psyches of the three principals: [Humprehy] Bogart, who bought the story to produce with his company; Nicholas Ray, a lean iconoclast of films about wounded men (James Dean in REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE), and the legendary Gloria Grahame.” (Roger Ebert)
