Seeing in a Dark Passage.

- Abstract
The article features the film noire "Dark Passage" in 1947, directed by Delmer Daves and starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. The film started in a dream sequence wherein the main character hallucinates about the plastic surgery he hopes will rid him from the newspapers. The subjective camera used in the film proved short-lived because it promises greater audience involvement to be compromised by a forcing sense of estrangement that operates on a variety of levels. Moreover, the film is described as using the subjective technique in a largely pragmatic way posed by a key element of the film industry.
