IN A LONELY PLACE

Special Features: Intro by Silver Spring-based author, producer and screenwriter George Pelecanos on April 3

Dixon Steele (Humphrey Bogart), a cynical, violent-tempered Hollywood screenwriter headed toward has-been status, becomes the prime suspect in the brutal murder of a young woman. His personal and professional lives take dramatic turns when he falls in love with his alibi — Laurel Gray (Gloria Grahame), a vulnerable new neighbor in his apartment court. This classic noir is an emotionally authentic and mature film about the frailty of human relationships and the glory and agony of artistic temperament. (Note adapted from Noir City.)
