Member Rating:  
Robert Montgomery's 1946 film Lady in the Lake attempted to tell the entire story with a "subjective camera": shooting the film from the point of view of the main character, with the camera acting as his "eyes". The first hour or so of Dark Passage does the same thing--and the results are far more successful than anything seen in Montgomery's film. Humphrey Bogart heads the cast as an escaped convict, wrongly accused of his wife's murder. After being forced to beat up a man (Clifton Young) from whom he's hitched a ride, Bogart hides out in the apartment of Lauren Bacall, while recovering from plastic surgery, and tries to set about locating the actual murderer. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This is a classic film. It keeps you on the edge of your seat. Bogart and Bacall do an awesome job in this film.

K S.

Not your typical, nor one of the better, Bogie/Bacall flicks. Some interesting moments, though, with Bacall being pointlessly slow-paced and sloe-eyed throughout what should have been some fast-paced scenes of escape and capture.

Bacall and Bogart are magic.. This early noir film is their last together.

This one starts off with a weird-'through the eyes of the main character'-viewpoint, so you don't see his face. After he escapes from prison, and gets a facelift, that changes. It is a romance between an innocent man, wrongly convicted, and the woman who loves him and believes in his innocence.

6/10 This is an underrated classic, with a more mature Bogie and Bacall. Some say it was the beginning of the film noir period, it certainly has many of the elements.The film is really a romance story between B&B, not a crime drama. This is a great film to enjoy actors performing their craft. I really liked it because it is a lesser known film for these 2, had very interesting camera technique for the story telling, and the story is a little twisted (perhaps at the edge of believable). Great supporting cast. Definately recommend for viewing, mature subject matter.
