Dark Passage (1947)
Country: US
Technical: bw 106m
Director: Delmer Daves
Cast: Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Agnes Moorehead
Synopsis:
A convict escapes prison, has his features rendered less recognizable by a plastic surgeon and goes after the real culprits for his wife's murder, helped by a sympathetic bystander.
Review:
This suspenseful Bogart-Bacall vehicle is all the more effective and romantic for delaying Bogie's 'appearance' by having him in bandages for the first half of the movie. It's a humdrum enough narrative, but there is plenty of appeal in the packaging.
