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)
