| In a Lonely Place |
Both a caustic dissection of the Hollywood studio system and a gripping study of masculinity in (creative) crisis, Nicholas Ray's noir classic features an explosive performance by Humphrey Bogart as jaded screenwriter Dixon Steele.
Hired to adapt a bestseller he thinks is 'trash', Steele hisses at the film's director: "You've made and remade the same picture for the last twenty years. You know what you are? You're a popcorn salesman" to which the despondent director replies "That's right - so are you. The only difference is I don't fight it".
