Favorite MovieThis is one of my favorite movies. I enjoyed the actors and the music from the movie. Glad I could purchase it on Apple TV..Score: 5/5

A Summer PlaceNearly 50 years I thought this movie was the best ever. It's still a good movie for the era, but in retrospect only Arthur Kennedy displayed any acting ability (he was the most believeable of the cast). I probably goofed having read the book first, and remembering it very well (everyone acted superbly in my mind)..Score: 2/5

A Summer PlaceMy husband has been raving about this movie for days and finally I found it on itunes and i m getting ready to experience the thrill of watching it now. My husband gives it 5 stars across the board and suggests everyone should see it at least once in their life!!! So looking forward to it!! lizzie.Score: 5/5

A Great Reality MovieI remember seeing this movie as a young teen in the 60's. The theme song was great. The storyline dealt with young love lost and young love found as well the issues of sex, adultery, alcoholism, classism and scandal. This movie had a major impact on my views about real life. I loved Sandra Dee in this film as much as I did in her performance in "An Imitation of Life" with Lana Turner. Both roles allowed her to portray a confused teen having to deal with the realities of life at home and in society in general. I remember Richard Egan from Elvis Pressley's first move "Love Me Tender" where he portrayed Elvis' older brother during the Civil War. A great character actor. If you want to see a movie that went against the practice of not talking about anything controversial in society, this is it..Score: 5/5

My Favorite Film of All TimeIf you want to see a true love story watch this film (you may even like the book, if you can find it). Great music by the same composer for Gone with The Wind. And watch for the reference to a young architect at the time - Frank Lloyd Wright. Very well done..Score: 5/5

Dark Passage (1947) summary, synopsis, reviews
Dark Passage (1947)Thriller1947

Bogey's on the lam and Bacall's at his side in Dark Passage, Delmer Daves' stylish film-noir thriller that's the third of four films Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall made together. Bogart is Vincent Parry, a prison escapee framed for murder who emerges from plastic surgery with a new face. Bacall is Irene Jansen, Vincent's lone ally. In a supporting role, Agnes Moorehead portrays Madge, a venomous harpy who finds pleasure in the unhappiness of others. The chemistry of the leads is undeniable, and they augment it here with exceptional tenderness. Exceptional, too, are the atmospheric San Francisco locations and the imaginative camera work that shows Vincent's point of view - but not his face - until the bandages are removed. Lest Irene get ideas, the post-surgery Vincent tells her: "Don't change yours. I like it just as it is." So do we.
