Dixon Steele (Bogart): I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me.

Favorite movies that have had an impact on me - #10 - In A Lonely Place (1950) - My dad introduced me to Bogie movies, and we watched the classics - Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon - together. This one I discovered on my own. It’s film noir, but with the bright sunshine, or maybe glare, of California. Bogie and Gloria Grahame are great together - tender, sexy, and doomed. I could watch it a million times, still hoping for a different ending. Talk about being your own worst enemy. I think it is Bogart’s greatest work.
