Bogart as bitter screenwriter in gripping film noir
“In a Lonely Place” is a film noir thriller set in Hollywood. Dixon Steele (Humphrey Bogart) is a cynical screenwriter down on his luck who has turned to the bottle and become belligerent. His agent, Mel Lippman (Art Smith), asked him to adapt a book for a movie. After discussing the book with hat-check girl Mildred Atkinson (Martha Stewart), who’s just finished reading it, he dismisses it as trash. The next morning, old army buddy and now police detective Brub Nicholai (Frank Lovejoy) informs Dix that he is the main suspect in Mildred’s murder, committed the night before.<br /><br />Directed by Nicholas Ray (“Rebel Without a Cause”), “In a Lonely Place” was produced by Bogart and released in 1950, the same year as “Sunset Boulevard,” another picture that showed the dark side of Hollywood. Bogart’s Dix is a bitter guy who finds himself in a sticky situation. Gloria Grahame as Dix’s neighbor Laurel Gray has some terrific scenes, often overshadowing Bogart himself.<br /><br />Made three years after the advent of the House Un-American Activities Committee, the movie contains a not-so-subtle political subtext. Whether you pick this up or not, the film offers a fascinating character study of a desperate man beaten down by a system and thrown into the midst of a murder investigation, setting in motion a love story between Dix and Laurel. This is complicated by Laurel’s own demons and her fear that Dix’s volatile nature will destroy them both.<br /><br />Bonus features on the Blu-ray release include new audio commentary; “I’m a Stranger Here Myself,” a 1975 documentary about director Nicholas Ray; new interview with biographer Vincent Curio about actress Gloria Grahame; radio adaptation from 1948 of the original Dorothy B. Hughes novel broadcast on the program “Suspense;” theatrical trailer; and a critical essay.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : When a gifted but washed-up screenwriter with a hair-trigger temper Humphrey Bogart (Casablanca), in a revelatory, vulnerable performance becomes the prime suspect in a brutal Tinseltown murder, the only person who can supply an alibi for him is a seductive neighbor (The Big Heat s Gloria Grahame) with her own troubled past. The emotionally charged In a Lonely Place, freely adapted from a Dorothy B. Hughes thriller, 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 is one of the greatest films of the 1950s, and a benchmark in the career of the classic Hollywood auteur Nicholas Ray (Rebel Without a Cause).BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES - New 2K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack- New audio commentary featuring film scholar Dana Polan- I m a Stranger Here Myself, a 1975 documentary about director Nicholas Ray, slightly condensed for this release- New interview with biographer Vincent Curcio about actor Gloria Grahame- Piece from 2002 featuring filmmaker Curtis Hanson - Radio adaptation from 1948 of the original Dorothy B.
