Dark Passage Ratings & Reviews
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
The structure and character sense of the David Goodis novel are intact, and a full-throttle supporting cast has a ball with meaty parts.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
The story is involving, the atmosphere is as starkly noir as anything Bogart participated in, and the dynamic between the leads is as conspicuous as ever.
TIME Magazine
This thriller is not quite up to the best Hitchcock, but it does prove that Delmer Daves is a man to watch. And The Dark Passage is a picture to see.
TV Guide
An example of how star power can compensate plot, this is the least electric of the Bogart-Bacall pairings; luckily, there's Agnes Moorehead, the screen's best hornet, to intervene whenever the going gets too lackadasical.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
An odd, atmospheric 1947 thriller.
Sarasota Herald-Tribune
Christopher Lloyd
Dark Passage isn't a particularly good film - there's a lot of disparate elements that never quite sew themselves together. It's a crazy patchwork made up of different pieces of other movies.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Delmer Daves' paramount noir dreamscape
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
One of the great San Francisco films.
Variety
Variety Staff
What starts out as a thriller switches en route into a sagging, psychological drama, but recovers in time to give out with the satisfying gory stuff.

Exquisite.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
Even though bored by the story -- which, because of its sag, you may be -- you can usually enjoy the scenery, which is as good as a travelogue.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Moody noir semi-classic with Bogie and Bacall.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Maybe not one of the great noirs, but certainly one of the good ones.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
A minor classic in the noir genre.
Reno Gazette-Journal
Mark Robison
Annoying but fun.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The film is almost stolen by bizarre performances by both Agnes Moorhead and Clifton Young.
