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: [to Laurel] I've been looking for someone a long time... I didn't know her name or where she lived - I'd never seen her before. A girl was killed, and because of that, I found what I was looking for. Now I know your name, where you live, and how you look.

  • Laurel Gray: [on a scene in Dix's script] I love the love scene - it's very good.

    Dixon Steele: Well that's because they're not always telling each other how much in love they are. A good love scene should be about something else besides love. For instance, this one. Me fixing grapefruit. You sitting over there, dopey, half-asleep. Anyone looking at us could tell we're in love.
