'Dark Passage'

BOGART AND BACALL were energetically great in the 'Dark Passage' movie last night on TCM.  The bristling, moving chemistry between Bogart and Bacall is so poignant in this film. Indeed, this is what good "Film Noir" is all about.  It cheers me to see the sleek writer David Goodis have his powerful words brought vividly to the screen in such a shrewd Delmes Daves-directed work of cinema.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
