Again from the old movie – the film noir of the American director Nicholas Ray “In a secluded place” / In a Lonely Place, 1950. Since noir, the content is not fun, as you can see. Writer Dixon Steele, once a well-known screenwriter, has not written anything significant for a long time, and now he receives an order to write a script based on a recently released popular novel. By coincidence, he commits an ill-conceived act - learning that the wardrobe in his friend's restaurant has already read this book left for him, he invites her to his home to tell him the contents, because he does not want to read. But even this he is bored and he soon escorts her outside, without even bothering to call her a taxi, simply slinging $20, and in the morning the girl is found murdered - she was strangled and pushed out of the car. The first suspicion falls on Steele, as everyone knows his violent temper, but his neighbor confirms that he saw him when he said goodbye to a girl on the doorstep of his house. And then events unfold in a very bad for Steele channel, although he seems to find love, but his idiotic character manages to destroy it. His innocence is eventually confirmed, but he almost committed an absolutely terrible act. The film is well staged, starring Humphrey Bogart, because of which, in fact, she began to watch, but the film did not make a special impression, quite ordinary for this kind of films.
