In a Lonely Place - (Ray;1950;USA) - ***1/2
A hothead screenwriter begins a relationship with a woman who gave him an alibi clearing him of a murder charge, but she soon begins to have doubts.
A great film with a great plot. Humphrey Bogart gives a charismatic performance as the screenwriter with an anger problem. The film's ending is the best part, featuring a painfully poignant image. Ray's direction didn't stand out as amazing but the good things add up in this film, mixed in with great performances to make this better then it could've been reduced to. The character development could've been improved.
