Product Description

When a gifted but washed-up screenwriter with a hair-trigger temper Humphrey Bogart (Casablanca), in a revelatory, vulnerable performance becomes the prime suspect in a brutal Tinseltown murder, the only person who can supply an alibi for him is a seductive neighbor (The Big Heat s Gloria Grahame) with her own troubled past. The emotionally charged In a Lonely Place, freely adapted from a Dorothy B. Hughes thriller, is a brilliant, turbulent mix of suspenseful noir and devastating melodrama, fueled by powerhouse performances. An uncompromising tale of two people desperate to love yet struggling with their demons and each other, this is one of the greatest films of the 1950s, and a benchmark in the career of the classic Hollywood auteur Nicholas Ray (Rebel Without a Cause).

CONTENTS OF THE CRITERION BLU-RAY + Checklist of Late Bogart on Blu-Ray
Amazon has the unfortunate habit of lumping all reviews for a film together, regardless of date of issue or format (VHS, DVD or Blu-Ray).This is especially unfortunate when the newest version is a dramatic improvement over the old versions.This is the case with "In a Lonely Place"2016 CRITERION BLU-RAY BONUS FEATURES:-- New 2K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on Blu-Ray.-- New audio commentary featuring film scholar Dana Polan-- "In a Lonely Place Revisited" with filmmaker Curtis Hanson (20 minutes, imported from the 2002 Sony DVD)-- "I'm a Stranger Here Myself" - 1975 documentary about director Nicholas Ray.-- New interview with biographer Vincent Curcio about actress Gloria Grahame-- Essay by critic Imogen Sara Smith-- Radio adaptation of the original Dorothy B. Hughes novel, broadcast on "Suspense" (1948)-- Movie trailer.-- SDH subtitles.2002 SONY DVD BONUS FEATURES:-- "In a Lonely Place Revisited" with filmmaker Curtis Hanson (20 minutes) - also on the new Crfiterion Blu-Ray.-- "In a Lonely Place Restoration Story" (5 minutes) - technical details (now obsolete) about film restoration.-- "The Bogart Collection" (5 minutes) - movie posters from Bogart's post-Warner career, 1949-1956.-- Movie trailer.-- SDH subtitles.Humphrey Bogart made 53 films as a contract player for Warner Brothers between 1932 ("Three on a Match") and 1948 ("Key Largo").In 1949, he left Warner to become an independent producer, starring in 17 films between 1949 and 1956.Bogart's production company had two big Technicolor successes: "The African Queen" (1951 - Bogart's only Oscar) and "The Caine Mutiny" (1954),but film scholars have always had a soft spot for the more modest black and white psychological thriller "In a Lonely Place" (1950).The 2002 Sony DVD had an excellent picture, but fourteen years on, Blu-Ray technology offers increased resolution.Criterion has a well-deserved reputation for quality and scholarship.The new Blu-Ray includes a commentary track, plus biographical features about co-star Gloria Grahame and director Nicholas Ray.HUMPHREY BOGART FILMS, 1949-19567 of 17 titles have been released on Blu-Ray:1949: Knock on Any Door1949: Tokyo Joe1950: Chain Lightning1950: In a Lonely Place - Blu-Ray reviewed on this page1951: The Enforcer = The Enforcer [Blu-ray] (Olive Films)1951: Sirocco1951: The African Queen = African Queen, The [Blu-ray] (Warner Blu-Ray)1952: Deadline: U.S.A. = Deadline U.S.A.
