Dark Passage (1947)
The third of four films Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall made together and the chemistry is there for all to see. You can really see the tenderness in Bacall's eyes as she cares for the stricken Bogart during the first hour.
The film is classic noir. Violent, fast paced, great San Francisco locations and camera work, and a vicious femme fatale in Agnes Moorehead whose scheming is central to the plot of an innocent man on the run from San Quentin and desperate to clear his name and avoid the police.
It's the camera work that really stands out though, especially during the first hour. During this time we never see Bogart's face and the whole piece is shot from his view point. It's all superbly done and a joy to watch.
