It’s a much abbreviated Noir City Seattle for me this year, for various reasons, but I had the pleasure of catching They Live by Night and Raw Deal down at SIFF Egyptian today. Nicholas Ray is always special. Also learned that Ray did some field recordings with Alan Lomax back in the day. Small world.

In a Lonely Place (1950). I know almost everybody regards this as one of the great noirs but I'm underwhelmed by it.

Bogart is OK as the bitter failed writer but I just didn't find the character believable. Gloria Grahame does her best. But for me the script just doesn't hold together. Dorothy B. Hughes' novel is much much better.

But I'm a notorious Nicholas Ray sceptic.

Years of merely reading about rather than hearing about him meant that, for some time, I kept pronouncing his name as Satyajit REY.

Sometimes, I still feel guilty when I remember that. So, starting today, as penance, I will begin pronouncing 's name as Nicholas WRY.

"Nicholas Ray’s oater subverts the gender norms and moral standards of the western in vibrant Trucolor (with noirish undertones)"

JOHNNY GUITAR (1954) is available on Blu-ray from
