In a Lonely Place
Local film critic and podcaster Matthew Turner returns for a third mini season of film noir classics, which will run exclusively at Chiswick Cinema throughout November 2026. "Nicholas Ray's noir classic stars Humphrey Bogart in one of his greatest roles as Dix Steele, a troubled, violence-prone screenwriter who's accused of the murder of a young woman. Gloria Grahame (The Big Heat) plays Dix's kind-hearted neighbour, who initially clears his name and then begins to have doubts." Synopsis: Screenwriter Dixon Steele, faced with the odious task of scripting a trashy bestseller, has hat-check girl Mildred Atkinson tell him the story in her own words. Later that night, Mildred is murdered and Steele is a prime suspect; his record of belligerence when angry and his macabre sense of humor tell against him. Fortunately, lovely neighbor Laurel Gray gives him an alibi. Laurel proves to be just what Steele needed, and their friendship ripens into love. Will suspicion, doubt, and Steele's inner demons come between them?nyopThrillerPT1H33MPG2026-11-01Humphrey Bogart
