In a Lonely Place

Blu-ray

Directed by Nicholas Ray

When a gifted but washed-up screenwriter with a hair-trigger temperHumphrey Bogart, in a revelatory, vulnerable performancebecomes the prime suspect in a brutal Tinseltown murder, the only person who can supply an alibi for him is a seductive neighbor (Gloria Grahame) with her own troubled past. Freely adapted from a Dorothy B. Hughes thriller, In a Lonely Place 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 film is one of the greatest of the 1950s and a benchmark in the career of Hollywood auteur Nicholas Ray.
