Nicholas Ray's brooding
psychological noir stands as one of the most penetrating examinations of
self-destructiveness in American cinema and one of the greatest films of the
1950s. Humphrey Bogart delivers a
revelatory performance of devastating vulnerability as Dixon Steele, a gifted
but washed-up screenwriter with a violent temper who becomes the prime suspect
in a homicide investigation. When his seductive yet troubled neighbor (Gloria Grahame) provides him with an
alibi, a tentative romance develops, shadowed by her growing fear that he might
indeed be capable of murder. (1950, 93 mins)
