DVD Review: Bogie as a bandaged killer and Bacall the woman by his side
Summary: 3 Stars
Vincent Parry (Humphrey Bogart) has just escaped from San Quentin where he has been imprisoned for the murder of his wife. Vincent is innocent and wants to clear his name so once he is a free man he goes in search of the people who testified against him at his trial. However not only is he a convicted murderer but he is now a fugitive and the cops will be looking for him everywhere. After narrowly escaping after the man who picks him up a few miles from the prison tries to detain him after learning of his identity Vincent is rescued by a woman named Irene Jansen (Lauren Bacall). Irene has followed Vincent's trial every step of the way and believes him to have been framed. She offers to transport Vincent past the roadblock and over the Golden Gate Bridge. She even offers to put him up and gets him a new wardrobe. Vincent is suspicious of her and leaves her house that night and meets up with a cabbie. The cabbie recognizes him but tells him that he knows a surgeon who could change Vincent's face and make him unrecognizable. Vincent undergoes surgery that morning and the doctor tells him that he must not take off the bandages for a couple of weeks until he is completely healed. This makes Dark Passage an interesting film. The premise of having surgery so that you are unrecognizable while seeking revenge is interesting to find in a film noir but more importantly Bogart is only onscreen as Bogart for forty minutes. The majority of the film is him in bandages. Studio head Jack Warner was not happy about this as we learn in the making of doc included on this disc and Bogart himself was surprised that he was getting paid the money he was since he would not be recognizable for over half of the film. After the bandages come off Vincent sets off to clear his name but things get worse for him. A friend from his past has turned up dead and he is the number one suspect. All kinds of people from Vincent's past emerge who threaten to turn him in unless he pays them off. The film is pretty entertaining but not great. Bogart and Bacall are fantastic together naturally and this film has a wonderfully colorful cast of supporting characters. Agnes Moorhead plays Madge one of the people who testified against Vincent at his trial. Madge fears for her life knowing that Vincent will come looking for her so she seeks shelter with Irene who can't stand her. The cabbie who recommends the surgery and the surgeon himself are terrific in their brief roles. Director Delmer Daves shot on location in San Francisco and that choice lends the film a lot of authenticity. Overall it is an interesting film and Bogart and Bacall are an unbeatable pair who are surrounded by a lot of colorful characters.
