"I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me."

Just rewatched this #noir classic. So good. It's loosely based on a Dorothy B. Hughes novel, which I haven't read but is supposed to be somewhat feminist.

In the movie, Bogart plays a screenwriter prone to violence and catastrophizing. He may or may not have murdered a young woman. Gloria Grahame plays his alibi. She falls in love with him but then begins to doubt his innocence.
