Dark Passage (1947): Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall


     Written and directed by Delmer Daves, Dark Passage (1947) was the third of four films to pair real-life sweethearts Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. The film is technically notable due to it's use of POV camera shots, as if seen through the eyes of the main character. The story concerns an escaped convict and the woman who decides to help him. Great performances by Bogart and Bacall anchor this superb Film Noir production.
