His character is suspected of murder until a stranger in his apartment complex gives him an alibi. Melrose Place with real actors. Time Out’s Geoff Andrews notes: “Nothi i the noir atmosphere of deathly paranoia frames one of the sereen’s most adult and touching love affairs; Bogart’s tough-guy inso- lence is probed to expose a vulnerable, almost psy- chotie insecurity; while Grahame abandons femme fatale conventions to reveal a character of enormous, subtle com- plexity. As ever Rav com- poses with symbolic pre- cision, confounds audi- ence expectations, and deploys the heightened ivricism of melodrama to produce an achingly poetic meditation on pain, distrust and loss of raith, not to mention an admirably unglamorous portrait of Tinseltown. Never were despair and solitude so romantically alluring”. One of Bogart’s greatest movies.
