The sometimes - neglected «Dark Passage,» by writer / director Delmer Daves, has ingredients that result in a noir rapture: Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall leading a terrific cast (Agnes Moorehead shines as a shrew with a penchant for animal prints), a bizarre story, Franz Waxman's score, San Francisco locations and slick cinematography by Sid Hickox —
including a
nightmare sequence that is still unsettling 65 years later.
