Minor Noir, but quite enjoyable with some great character actors in minor roles. The setting in 40s San Francisco is intruiging to locals with some great shots. The plot doesn't make much sense, but no matter, the stars and supporting cast…

Reading most of the comments I have to agree that although this noir has some flaws, it's is still rather enjoyable. The plot doesn't make sense and coincidences are rife throughout, but none the less it is an intruiging premise (escapee…

▶︎ AN UNCONVENTIONAL and neglected film noir, with Bogart's face unseen for half the movie. I love to contradict ManMachine, who must have been dozing, but we see Parry's original beefy face in a picture early in the movie, and the…

the only reason to watch this movie is for Lauren Bacall, who's inimitably sultry and ravishing throughout, even mesmerizing - Bogey only shows up an hour into the film after his character has undergone plastic surgery, to finally show up…

Directed by Delmer Daves in 1947 based on the 1946 novel of the same name by David Goodis, this crime drama follows the prison escapee's attempt to hide from the law and clear his name of murder. The story contains so many unrealistic…

I have to tell ya - I am completely convinced that the producers/writers of this Warner Bros. production had a very, very low opinion of the intelligence level of their intended audience. IMO - This film's ridiculous story was a total…

Undoubtedly the worst of the four films Bogart and Bacall made together, but still it is Bogie. Worth watching, but not a great one.

A study in Film Noir overkill, Delmer Daves’ film takes an already convoluted plot and peppers it with so many Hail Mary coincidences you get the impression the ending would have been the same had Parry simply sat in a coffeeshop and let…

GOOD 1947 b/w film noir set in San Francisco. There are a couple of odd film twists - like not seeing Bogart until he's had his facial plastic surgery, instead there is a lot of point of view film. I rather enjoyed Agnes Moorehead's…

Humphrey Bogart was a lucky man on the set of "Dark Passage". He was to play Vincent Parry who was is innocent of killing his wife and escaped jail. He is hiding in the apartment of Irene Jansen, who happens to be Lauren Bacall. The…

A wonderful example of the film noir genre. Wrongfully convicted of his wife's murder, Bogie escapes from Q and briefly holds up in Baby's apartment. On the lam in 'Frisco, he encounters an interesting assortment of characters while he…

Fantastic film whose minor flaws hardly detract from its overall lurid pleasures. Both an artifact of its era and yet ahead of its time, this often aggressively downbeat film noir summons the future memory of the disturbing French horror…

Yeah, that first person camera technique really set the mood... identical to another excellent '47 noir starring and directed by Robert Montgomery: Raymond Chandler's "Lady In The Lake". There was nothing about this one I didn't like. The…

I first saw this film at the age of 11. Watching Lauren Bacall walking across the restaurant with every step showing she and Bogart were as one as two people could ever be thrilled me then and even more so now. The book and the movie are…

This movie is like no other movie, it starts out as a first person point of view then about & half way through the movie turns into a third person point of view with a mix of mystery and love & a man trying to prove that he's not a killer.

This innovative film where the camera starts off as the main character's perspective, gets better and better. And with the steamy qualitiy of the two main stars conflicting with the superb evil Agnes Moorehead, you are in for a real…
