as autocritique it's sad, perverse: GG took the part out of necessity despite ray's controlling, demeaning contract and their impending divorce--soon he'd be living on the set while she was off banging his 13 yr old son. the lines blur between pleasure & horror, creation & destruction; he grabs her by the neck, snarls that he knows where she lives, they kiss passionately and he begins his masterpiece. love, violence & art: each a shot for the exit to our lonely place, each tragically interwoven.

It's fascinating in its really clear portrayal of a toxic relationship while not seeming to try to do so. Instead this toxicity seem to came very honestly from the times and people that made it (Ray and Grahame apparently were a toxic couple themselves while according to IMDb trivia Bogart was similar to this character IRL)

Bogart takes a disturbing turn as a explosively violent screenwriter; will his new (and beautiful) neighbor save him from himself? I was a little more focused on the murder mystery-that-wasn't, and wished there was a little more to make us really wonder. Strong performances with some memorably-quippy noir dialogue.

I wanna praise how dark and twisted the story gets for a 1950s Hollywood system picture, or how genuinely murky the certainty of the viewer's judgment of these complex characters gets over time, or even that iconic line, but... I really just can't stop thinking about how his name is "Dix Steele"!

Bogart's short-fused Dixon has to be one of the most layered and troubled characters he has ever played. He isn't the good guy, but its tough to call him a villain when he seems to be the victim of his own doing. This is drama with a noir gloss that works really well.

By naming the main character Dixon Steele, or "Dicks", for short, author Dorothy B. Hughes and director Nicholas Ray are explicitly positioning Steele as a stand-in for all men and masculinity as a whole. Through a radical subversion of common genre tropes, they use the story and character as both a feminist critique of mid 20th-century gender politics generally, as well of the violently misogynist anti-heroes commonly found in noir genre specifically.

There is little doubt regarding the murder mystery, but that's a bit of plottiness peripheral to this film's primary concern as a character piece. Any way you slice it, Dix is the guiltiest guy who ever lived. He is preceded by a loaded reputation, and rightfully so. Masculinity is often subverted or come undone in films noir, but there's something special here; perhaps simply that Bogart didn't often portray as vulnerable or unsympathetic. The text is sharp, but occasionally overwrought.

Contrary to the poster's excitable promises, there's little suspense and surprise to be had here. Bogart's antihero qualities are intriguing, but beyond that -- snooze.

Exactly 30 minutes till we meet the end, when Mister Bogart is proposing to Gloria, just pay attention how he's presenting the character to us with his body language, more specifically his hands. What An amazing actor.

Dull. I didn't like this that much. Even though plotwise it's fine, the story itself could have been much better executed. Characters are very one dimensional. A lot of character flaws are explained in the way of 'they've always been that way' instead of actually confronting them about it. That could have given the film more foothold and would have made a much more interesting experience. Guess I'm just not that much a fan of noir films, but this highlight stuck with me "flight 16 phonecall"

It's alright to pass the time and look at some old interiors. Nothing outstanding or remarkable happens here.

There's a murder, but it's not a murder mystery; rather a character study, and an exploration of how the qualities of a leading man and the expressions of psychopathy can be one and the same. It's interesting, but I wasn't really entertained. Picks up in the last third, leading up to a subdued and melancholy ending (notably improvised on set, the original ending having been discarded last minute) that drives home where the real lonely place is.

Between the meta Hollywood commentary, the whodunit, and the tragic love story, the film takes on quite a bit more than it can handle. In other words, this is just boneless Sunset Boulevard.

Due to the Hayes Code and the general sensitivities at the time, Bogart is a "theatrical" jerk: while this is one of his more darker roles, we are forced to accept that he could potentially be a murderer based on a series of hearsay and what is now fairly tame on-screen behavior. It's one of those films where I would welcome a more modern, rawer portrayal. It certainly ends on a high note, though the phone as a device to build tension was already done in Sorry, Wrong Number with Burt Lancaster.
