For our September movie, Vine Street at the Movies returns to the classics with 1950's In A Lonely Place by Nicholas Ray.
Humphrey Bogart stars as a screenwriter with anger-management issues—who gets into serious trouble with the law. Is he innocent or guilty? No one can be sure, even the woman who made him feel like he had just been born afresh. The result is one of Hollywood's best noir romances (with all that this implies).
This movie is not rated, but would be a PG or mild PG-13.
"In a Lonely Place is a superb example of the mature Hollywood studio system at the top of its form. Photographed with masterful economy ... it understands space and uses the apartments across the courtyard to visualize the emotional relationship between Dixon and Laurel. ...
"... a crisp black-and-white film with an almost ruthless efficiency of style. It taps into the psyches of the three principals: Bogart, who bought the story to produce with his company; Nicholas Ray, a lean iconoclast of films about wounded men ... and the legendary Gloria Grahame..." -Roger Ebert
