Disappointing film with Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame.A murder takes place and it's the hat-check girl that Bogart had invited home to have her read a story that Bogart, a screen writer in the film, wants to hear so that he can write the film version.
Quite possibly the wackiest film noir. Screenwriter Humphrey Bogart has serious anger management issues and finds himself accused of murder.
A volatile screenwriter avoids a murder charge on the alibi of his beautiful neighbour, and they fall in love. But the honeymoon gets complicated.
Alcohol-soaked Hollywood screenwriter Humphrey Bogart (as Dixon "Dix" Steele) and sexy aspiring actress Gloria Grahame (as Laurel Gray) are mutually attracted, but he is suspected in a violent murderer. There is something askew in the on-screen relationship between Mr.
No one accused of murder would be so blasé. It got stupid so I stopped watching.
Bogart reportedly thought the movie a failure. Certainly box-office results were dismal and Bogie's production company, Santana, lost a bundle.
He needs someone to trust him. She needs someone with a gentle hand.
Somehow I had never seen this film, and what a shame, because it's a really fine film. And, I think Bogart was brave to select this film...
A typical post-WWII cinematic melodrama, this film oozes era style and expression. The script is talky but the dialogue is sometimes clever.
