I read In A Lonely Place to do an essay on the film and was
amazed how such a neat little book became such a bogus film.
(Yes, I know, a lot of people love the film and it is one of
Bogart's best performances but its allure escapes me and I
can't see how anyone considers it noir in the least.) Over
the holiday break I'll be reading Ride The Pink Horse.
Haven't found the flick yet, but it's on my list. That and
Nightmare Alley. And Wages of Fear, and . . .
Well, you know how it goes.
