Bogart as down and out screenwriter "Dix" Steele, is suspected of murder. Gloria Grahame is the love interest who wants to believe in him. Bogart doesn't play his typical short spoken tough guy with a warm soft spot hidden away somewhere. Instead you find a portrait of an antihero who is beginning to unravel. Several driving scenes at night add to the mood of the film. A solid performance from beginning to end.

I love "In a Lonely Place". Like many others, I think it is Bogart's best role. My favorite scenes are those from "Paul's" restaurant. I have it listed in Post #29 among my favorite Noirs of all time. I liked the film so much, I created a painting of Bogart based on the closing scene where he is standing at the door of Grahame's apartment.
