	Dark Passage (1947 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dark Passage (1947) is a Warner Bros. film noir directed by Delmer Davis and stars Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.
		Dark Passage would be the third of four films real-life husband and wife Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.
		This film, like Lady in the Lake released a year earlier, employs a subjective camera technique in which the viewer sees the action through Bogart's "eyes." When this movie was released, Bogart was Hollywood's highest paid actor, making more than $450,000 a year.

	DVD Verdict Review - Dark Passage
		Dark Passage would be the third of four films real-life husband and wife Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall would make together, and it's routinely considered the least of their on-screen pairings.
		Warner's video presentation of Dark Passage is arguably the best of their four recent Bogart releases (the others being To Have and Have Not, High Sierra, and They Drive by Night).
		Dark Passage isn't likely to be confused with high art, but for fans of Bogart and Bacall, as well as lovers of classic films in general, it's required viewing, if only to see one of the few screen pairings of Hollywood's most storied off-screen couple.

		Dark Passage is the least well known of the Humphrey Bogart/Lauren Bacall films, and with good reason, since it is not of the same quality as their other three films.
		"Dark Passage", is unique, and on the down side has been at times strongly criticised for, its shooting from the view of Humphrey Bogart's face so that we dont actually see him for the first half hour of the film.
		"Dark Passage", may not be top draw Bogart akin to "Casablanca", or "The Maltese falcon", however it is a spirited tale in its own right and should be viewed as such.

		By immersing herself in mud or by pushing herself through the darkness of a cave, she embraces a nature most shun and faces down primal fears, returning to tell us something about ourselves we may have suspected but never really knew.
		By the end of her book, by wandering in these dark places and by thinking about her friend, she comes closer to understanding what lies beyond our daily lives, catching glimpses of the void, the nothingness we use as a metaphor for death.

	DVD Savant Review: Dark Passage
		By pedigree and intent Dark Passage is a film noir, but in all fairness it's a confused movie with a gimmick that can't hide a pile of foolish coincidences and absurd plotting.
		The funny thing is that Dark Passage is eminently enjoyable, from its impressive location shooting to the undeniable attraction of its stars.
		Warners' DVD of Dark Passage is immaculate and bursting with a restored picture and punchy sound that will make old murky 16mm TV prints a lost memory.

		Dark Passage was Bogart and Bacall's third feature as a couple following on from the successes of To Have And Have Not (1944) and The Big Sleep (1946).
		Billed as a compelling romance, Dark Passage is, in fact, a very different movie.
		Firmly in the tradition of late 40s film noir, it is primarily the tale of escaped prisoner Vincent Parry (Bogart) and his bid to clear his name and find out who framed him for the murder of his wife.

		The best of the four are, of course, the two Bacall pictures -- "Dark Passage" and "To Have and Have Not," the latter quite splendidly directed by Howard Hawks and smartly adapted from the Hemingway novel by Jules Furthman and another great American novelist, William Faulkner.
		"Dark Passage," however, is nothing to sneeze at -- the 1947 Delmer Daves-directed and -written adaptation of the David Goodis novel features Bogart as an escaped convict looking to start a new life with nothing but a new face (courtesy of plastic surgery) and Bacall at his side.
		The plot is less the thing here than the usual Bogart/Bacall chemistry which, in their third effort together, is irresistible.

		When the competition is To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep and Key Largo, it's hard not to come in fourth place, and that may be why 1947's Dark Passage has always been considered the least of the four Humphrey Bogart/Lauren Bacall on-screen pairings.

		Seeing Bogart and Bacall together is always a joy, although "Dark Passage" is a somewhat odd pairing -- mostly because Bogart is not seen by the audience for the first half of the movie.
		Overall, "Dark Passage" is great fun -- watch it, enjoy it, and forget about the glaring plot holes.

		The audience is involved in the dark world where there is no neat solution, but a lot of intrigue.
		Overall, "Dark Passage" plays better than some twisty thrillers of today by keeping things simple and not over the top and you can't go wrong with a film noir of the 40's which is always a good thing.
		Dark Passage has a mono soundtrack and despite it's limits, it's not that obviously hissy or scratched like some movies of the 40's.

		Dark Passage uses scale models, a six sided dice and a ruler to create Science Fiction combat games in building complexes, Star ships and other 'close settings'.

		Whilst it is a 'stand alone' system in its own right, Dark Passage is also the first title in the 'Tech-Trooper' series (which explores various other aspects of the Science Fiction genre), it is also compatible with other titles in the Tech-Trooper range.

	Dark Passage (1947)
		The first act of Dark Passage is painful to watch, partly because it takes that long to set up the story and partly because of the "innovative" shooting style that alternates between the lead character's point of view and a regular third-person POV.
		What sets it apart from Lady in the Lake, which used a similar technique, is that Dark Passage utilized a hand-held camera, giving the first-person experience more authenticity.
		While this technique works towards its purpose—not revealing Vincent Parry's face until he's had plastic surgery and has been miraculously turned into Humphrey Bogart —it would have been less jarring if director Delmer Daves ( Hollywood Canteen, Broken Arrow, Spencer's Mountain) had committed to one specific POV.

		Whilst the passage of time has been kind to the evaluation of the worth of the film - and lets face it, most of Bogart 's films have improved the further away from the period from which they were spawned we get - in this instance, I simply don't see it.
		Its quirky style of shooting for the first hour certainly had something to do with that, but so did the times in which the film was released.
		Whilst the passage of time has been generally good to the critical acclaim of the film, it remains one of the less successful of the films from the Humphrey Bogart after his breakout role in High Sierra.
