If there's a more incredible ending to a film, I haven't seen it. Absolutely fantastic. Bogart's best performance.Ivan0716

A real bravura performance by Bogart. Probably his finest work.Siskoid
It's clever that In a Lonely Place casts Humphrey Bogart as a screenwriter who doesn't want to read the book he doesn't want to adapt, because the movie is based on a book too, and because of censors, it doesn't really follow the book either (the novel puts you in the mind of a serial killer, which isn't the case here. The result is a descendant of Hitchcock's Suspicion, in which a Bogart's girlfriend (Gloria Grahame) starts to suspect him of being guilty of a young woman's murder, just as the police do. Onscreen evidence suggests he didn't do it, but as the film progresses, we see less-than-endearing traits come out. He lacks empathy, he has a macabre (writer's) fascination for murder, he's quick to anger and to violence. What we excuse at first slowly becomes grist for the mill, and in the push-and-pull of the romance, Grahame falls prey to psychological terror. Even absent the noir plot, a strong exploration of trust and its relationship to love.jacktrewin

Good one!everyonewantstolaugh
One of my favorite noirsDisneyStitch
Wonderful Bogart film. He has some serious chemistry with Gloria Grahame and it really makes the screen pop. Not knowing precisely if Bogie is guilty, innocent, or at least capable of the crime is played out to full effect and drives the story forward. Even Martha Stewart's short role is crafted in such a way that you feel for her almost immediately, and Gloria Grahame is great.
