In a Lonely Place (The Criterion Collection) Although Brook's novel was controversial in its subject matter(homosexual killing), at the time the film was made(1946-47), which dealt with Jew bashing, Brook's novel is very real in our day and age. Director Dmytryk has an impressive resume but this jumped to the top of my list. When I watched the opening titles and the first few minutes of the film, I couldn’t watch it any more. If only they had, we might have had a little more action.

This is a review of the Universal “Cinema Classics’ standard Region 2 DVD. Ryan and Grahame were nominated for ‘Best Supporting Actor’ and ‘Best Supporting Actress’, and it was also nominated for 2 others including ‘Best Adapted Screenplay’. Now I’ve ordered the same title from Amazon.com. With Robert Young, Robert Mitchum, Robert Ryan, Gloria Grahame. It is a true "noir" film using lots of dark and shadowed scenes. I’ve bought other DVDs that Cinema Universal Classic released. I wonder where Universal got the print from to transfer and whoever transferred it was not doing their job properly, which is a pity. 50s and 60s. good film if one could see it without turning the brightness up to full

My buddy and I call this our favorite "Robert" movie since it stars Mitchum, Young and Ryan.
They released other films on region 2 and they were very good, no complaints about them. But which one? Please try againSorry, we failed to record your vote. Another classic Robert Mitchum with strong performances from Robert Ryan, Robert Young. – which gives it a film-noir feel and fits with the dark subject matter. Very unfortunate since the storyline and the characterizations are of a very high standard. When I saw the film on television a few weeks ago it looked interesting, with Robert Young, Robert Mitcham and Robert Ryan. The film is way too dark – can we have some light, please?
