One of the Best ever!, 28 March 2003
10/10
Author: red-74 (rbaily@ucsd.edu) from La Jolla

Very briefly, if you love 'film noir', excellent writing, brilliant direction, powerful B&W imagery and inspired casting, IN A LONELY PLACE is waiting for you. The storyline and the characterizations are city street-smart and flawless. One of Bogart's very best!
