Dark Passage (1947)

292. Dark Passage (1947) - Delmer Davis.  Co-stars Bogart and Laureen Bacall. 106 minutes. Bogart's an escaped prisoner framed for murder with Bacall as his sole ally. Bogart plays the first part of the movie off-camera, we see the movie from his point of view, then has plastic surgery to become - ta da - Humphrey Bogart. Pluses include: Agnes Morehead as an evil harpy, location shots of San Francisco, and the Bacall/Bogart chemistry. However, the script is routine and having Bogart off-camera doesn't really add anything. Summary: Enjoyable, but should have been better given the talent involved.  Rating **1/2
