In A Lonely Place

A classic of noir psychological thrillers, this is one of Humphrey Bogart's finest performances. He is almost unbearably intense as Dixon Steele, a screenwriter with high standards and a nasty temper who finds himself under suspicion when Mildred, a hat-check girl he knows, is found murdered. Immediately he gets an alibi from a neighbour, Laurel, (Gloria Grahame) and equally quickly, he recognises that this is a woman who meets his standards: the question is, as suspicion of his involvement in Mildred's death continues, can he make himself meet hers?

The Cinematologists is a podcast that celebrates and interrogates films and film culture. Presented and produced by film academics Dr Dario Llinares and Dr Neil Fox, each episode is based around a screening with a recorded introduction followed by a post-viewing live audience Q&A.
The Cinematologists are delighted to be holding screenings with us, and are hoping for some lively debate from the Hastings’ audience. Download the podcast.
