Bilgi :Clocking in at just over 10 minutes, the short film briefly chronicles Bacall's arrival in Hollywood under the aegis of director Howard Hawks and her subsequent struggle to find suitable parts at Warner Bros. We also learn about Bogart's interest in The Dark Road, the David Goodis book upon which Dark Passage is based, and how he and producer Jerry Wald needed to convince a reluctant Jack Warner to buy the "bleak" property. Cogent, if brief, examinations of the lives of Goodis and director-writer Delmer Daves are also included, as well as a discussion of the film's location shooting and innovative technique. Especially fascinating is a look at the involvement of Bogart and Bacall in The Committee for the First Amendment, a group of Hollywood activists that traveled to Washington in 1947 to lend support to the writers and actors harassed by the House Un-American Activities Committee
