Dark Passage (1946) is a crime novel by David Goodis. It was the basis for the 1947 film noir of the same name. Vincent Parry, wrongly convicted of murdering his wife, escapes from prison and is taken in by Irene Jansen, a wealthy socialite and artist with an interest in his case who becomes bent on clearing his name. Helped by a friendly cabbie, Parry gets a new face from a plastic surgeon, thereby enabling him to dodge the authorities and find his wife's real killer. He has difficulty staying hidden, in part because Madge Rapf, the spiteful woman whose testimony sent him to prison, and who has an unhealthy interest in Irene, keeps stopping by. Dark Passage was adapted for film in 1947, with a screenplay by Delmer Daves, who also directed.
