Dark Passage

After a charismatic convict (Humphrey Bogart) receives a life sentence for allegedly murdering his wife and then escapes from San Quentin in this dark, well-acted, tension-filled, black-and-white, 1947, film-noir classic thriller based on David Goodis' novel, bodies (Rory Mallinson, Agnes Moorehead, et al.) begin to pile up as he heads to San Francisco with the help of a beautiful, empathetic landscape artist (Lauren Bacall) to begin tracking down the real murderer and then surprisingly gets facial reconstruction when an astute taxi driver (Tom D'Andrea) introduces him to a back-alley plastic surgeon (Houseley Stevenson) while being tailed by a two-bit hustler and a tenacious detective (Douglas Kennedy).
