Watching the opening titles of In a Lonely Place, I wished the design had allowed for it to appear like it was saying ?Humphrey Bogart in A Lonely Place.? Just because. But it doesn?t. And wouldn?t really be appropriate either as it?s unclear, some ninety minutes later, if Bogart was indeed in a lon... Read full article

Facts about In a Lonely Place

There is a moment in the trailer for the film that doesn't appear in the final cut. As Laurel is talking to the detective at the end of the film, Dix starts to leave. In the "lost moment," Laurel calls out Dix's name and they have one last embrace on the steps before he descends.
Though the title and characters are based on Dorothy B. Hughes's novel, the biggest difference between book and movie is that in the movie Dixon Steele, though violent, is only accused of being a murderer while in the book he is a serial killer and rapist. Director Nicholas Ray claimed that he made the change because he was "more interested in doing a film about the violence in all of us, rather than a mass murder film or one about a psychotic." Hughes was never bothered by the changes from her novel and praised Gloria Grahame's performance.
Although Gloria and Bogie were 24 years apart in age, they both died at the age of 57.
