DARK PASSAGE (1947) - July 14, 2007
About a man who breaks out of jail, and then slowly sets out to prove his innocence, this was a surprisingly good film. I say surprisingly because the first half or so consists mostly of shots from the main character's POV; I'm not generally the biggest fan of POV shots, and while it comes off as kind of gimmicky here, it actually does work reasonably well. Aside from that, the direction was quite good, and it goes without saying that Humphrey Bogart was excellent in the main role, as was Lauren Bacall. ***1/2
