An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) In a Lonely Place, the classic 1950 Nicholas Ray Hollywood screenwriting romantic crime film noir ("The Bogart suspense picture with the surprise finish-"; "Look deep into these eyes! Is it love, hate or murder? They're the eyes of Humphrey Bogart"; "Suspense mounts steadily right up to the surprise finish!"; about a troubled and possibly deranged screenwriter who becomes involved in the murder of a young woman and how that adversely affects his romantic relationship with his sexy neighbor) starring Humphrey Bogart (as Dixon Steele), Gloria Grahame, Frank Lovejoy, Carl Benton Reid, Art Smith, Jeff Donnell, Martha Stewart, Alix Talton, Morris Ankrum, Robert Warwick, James Griffith, Steven Geray, and Hadda Brooks (the jazz legend who has a brief appearance playing the piano). Note that star Gloria Grahame was married to director Nicholas Ray at the time this movie was made, but they had a very "difficult" relationship, and the marriage ended two years later under pretty dreadful circumstances (and it seems pretty likely that Nicholas Ray drew heavily from his own life in creating the title character of Dixon Steele)!

Important Added Info: Note that the one-sheet and lobby cards from this movie turn up at auctions regularly, but the inserts and half-sheets are far more rare. We have auctioned three inserts over the years. We have only auctioned two examples of this half-sheet in all our years of auctioning! Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has tears of varying lengths around the edges and most are backed with brown paper or clear tape (there are slightly larger tears at upper left and one tear slightly enters the image of Bogart's cheek at right - see our image). It has some light scuffing in a few areas as well as a few light and fine creases but those are not very noticeable or distracting when the poster is displayed. It is otherwise generally in pretty nice condition and after some proper restoration the rare poster will display quite well! Learn More about condition grades
