It's a brand-new month here at Car RayRob which means it's Rob's turn to kick things off! For his recommendation, Rob is going back to his recent misfire, ONE FROM THE HEART, where it came to his attention that Ray had a glaring hole in his film viewing resume, Ray has never seen a Humphrey Bogart film! To remedy this, Rob culled his brain from the endless choices of the best place to start with this film giant. CASABLANCA? AFRICAN QUEEN? THE BIG SLEEP? No, Rob decided to go a little outside of the box to recommend the 1950 Nicholas Ray film noir IN A LONELY PLACE!
This Bogart classic centers on Dix Steele, a formerly successful, short-tempered screenwriter who is caught between his principles and the dangling carrot of renewed success. As he weighs a possible new job opportunity, he finds himself in the crosshairs of the police for murder! His only alibi is Laural Grey (in a powerhouse performance by Gloria Grahame), a new neighbor who he immediately finds himself smitten with. As their relationship grows, so does the investigation, but with the pressure of the police breathing down his neck, can their budding love survive?
Will Ray's love of film noir and the magnetic chemistry of two leads find Ray smitten with this dark love story? Or will Dix's hair-trigger temper push him over the edge? Tune in this week to find out!
