Dark Passage

With Horrotober firmly in the rear-view mirror, we turn our sights on the first annual Noirvember, a look at all things film-noir. We kick off this month with a look at one of the four collaborations between acting couple powerhouses Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall: Dark Passage. Based on the book by David Goodis, the film follows Bogart as Vincent Parry, a man wrongfully imprisoned for the murder of his wife, who attempts to clear his name with the help of Lauren Bacall. Along with noir tropes, the film also employs a first-person perspective for the first half, cementing itself as a unique entry into the noir genre. OughtFiveFilm's Father Malone joins Chris to talk about Bogart's filmography, the unique filming style, and whether the film is actually "noir."
