Movies - In a Lonely Place


In a Lonely Place is a 1950 film noir directed by Nicholas Ray, starring Humphrey Bogart
and Gloria Grahame
, and produced for Bogart's Santana Productions. The releasing studio was Columbia Pictures. The script was adapted by Edmund North from a novel by Dorothy B. Hughes.

Bogart stars in the film as Dixon Steele, a down-on-his-luck and possibly psychopathic screenwriter. Grahame co-stars as Laurel Gray, a neighbor at Bogart's apartment complex who falls under his spell. Beyond its surface plot of confused identity and tormented lust, the film is a mordant comment on Hollywood mores and the pitfalls of celebrity and near-celebrity, in much the same vein as two other more widely-publicized American films released that same year, Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard and Joseph Mankiewicz's All About Eve
.

Especially for You''. The lyrics include a reference to one of the pivotal lines in the film: "I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me." It is also the title of a 1980 Joy Division song, later re-recorded and released as a B-side to New Order's Ceremony single and was a B-side by Bush.
