This week we present In A Lonely Place, Nicholas Ray's loose adaptation of the Dorothy Hughes novel of the same name. The film stars Humphrey Bogart as a sour and often violent Hollywood screenwriter Dixon Steele. Dixon has been suspected of killing a coat check girl he hired to summarize a novel he was hired to adapt, though his neighbor Laurel, played by co-star Gloria Grahame, testifies that she saw him and the girl the night of the murder but does not believe that Dixon committed the crime. The two begin a romantic relationship and as they grow closer Dixon's violent behavior makes Laurel wonder if the man she loves could be a killer.
