So after watching WVU's remarkable comeback to defeat Georgia Tech and win its first Gator Bowl, a few friends and I dived into what's likely the most obscure of the films in the Bogart-Bacall box set, Dark Passage. Honestly, I can't say I liked it much. It's definitely clunky, though it's always great to see Ms. Bacall and though it does feature some very nice character actor turns (like Tom D'Andrea's, he's great as the oddly helpful cabbie).
Perhaps more than anything else the movie got me thinking of movies with similar structures or plots, and made me appreciate Seconds more than I used to. True, I still find that Frankenheimer classic cold and rather unlikeable - but it's very well crafted in its way.
