Dark Passage is a 1947 American film noir directed by Delmer Daves and starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.[3][4] The film is based on the 1946 novel of the same title by David Goodis. It was the third of four films real-life couple Bacall and Bogart made together.[5]
The story follows protagonist Vincent Parry’s attempt to hide from the law and clear his name of murder.[4] The first portion of the film subjectively depicts the male lead's point of view, concealing Bogart‘s face until his character undergoes plastic surgery to change his appearance.
