Fear eats the soul

Bogart is really cynical.

There was hardly a second of the first hour of play.

Later when I played Gloria Grahame in the agony of fear, I thought she was pushing hard but not really hitting the mark.

I'm intoxicated by that old alcoholic actor who said affectionately at Bogart's door: For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings, that then I scorn to change my state with kings.

This sentence is taken from sonnet 29, Shakespeare's The influence of the films of the first half of the 20th century is deep-rooted.

In a Lonely Place quotes

  • Dixon Steele: [on hearing a voice at the front door] My friend Charlie, who speaks but poetry and borrows but money.

  • Laurel Gray: Why can't he be like other people?

    Mel Lippmann: Like other people - would you have liked him? You knew he was dynamite - he has to explode sometimes! Years ago, I tried to make him go and see a psychiatrist. I thought he'd kill me! Always violent. Well it's as much a part of him as the color of his eyes, the shape of his head. He's Dix Steele. And if you want him, you've gotta take it all, the good with the bad. I've taken it for 20 years and I'd do it again.
