Closing out our November Noir series, celebrating 100 years of Columbia Pictures, is the 1950 masterpiece In A Lonely Place.
Directed by Nicholas Ray, In a Lonely Place is peak film noir. It explores themes of isolation, paranoia, and the complexity of human relationships better than almost any other movie from the era. Starring Humphrey Bogart as the troubled screenwriter Dixon Steele and Gloria Grahame as his love interest, the film deftly navigates the murky waters of guilt and suspicion against a backdrop of 1950s Hollywood.
