moviesAug 3, 202624148

TCM hosted a live watch party for Dark Passage (1947) as part of its Summer Under the Stars programming; viewers live‑tweeted reactions and highlighted Humphrey Bogart moments. The channel listed Dark Passage starring Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Bruce Bennett and Agnes Moorehead, running 1 hour 46 minutes and rated TV‑PG. Posts praised supporting players such as Morris Carnovsky and noted his blacklisting by HUAC and later return to the stage. Viewers called out noir elements and performances, Lizabeth Scott’s femme fatale presence, Bogart’s occasional Southern accent, and the film’s flashback structure, while linking discussion to other Bogart films including Dead Reckoning and The Harder They Fall. Several posts referenced production or adaptation trivia from companion films and novels, and commenters planned to keep watching TCM’s Summer Under the Stars lineup.

Morris Carnovsky makes every film he’s in a better film. Great character actor and a respected stage actor. He was targeted by HUAC and blacklisted in Hollywood but was later able to return to the stage. #TCMParty #DeadReckoning

The Harder They Fall is a great film but a downer. I may be back for Dead Reckoning #TCMParty #SUTS

I'll be damned. The novel this movie was adapted from is where the phrase "live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse" originated. #KnockOnAnyDoor #TCMParty #SUTS

The people, Eddie, the people! Don't tell me about the people, Eddie. The people sit in front of their little TVs with their bellies full of beer and fall asleep. What do the people know, Eddie? Don't tell me about the people, Eddie! #TheHarderTheyFall #TCMParty

I Love that his characters don’t start as a paragon of virtue. They may take awhile before their integrity and honour come through. Bogart was great in showing that struggle, that journey. #TCMParty

In so many movies, the makeup department would hide George Macready's scar. It's interesting that no attempt was made here to hide it. #TCMParty #SUTS #KnockOnAnyDoor"
