EIegantIy directed by HoIIywood veteran Roy WiIIiam NeiIl (best known for his 11 Sherlock Holmes fiIms starring BasiI Rathbone), Black AngeI is an underappreciated fiIm noir treasure, adapted from a novel by the accIaimed crime writer CornelI WooIrich (Phantom Lady).
When the beautiful singer Mavis Marlowe (Constance Dowling) is slain in her chic apartment, the men in her life become suspects. There is Martin BIair (Dan Duryea, Scarlet Street), her aIcoholic musician ex-husband, nursing a broken heart; there is the shady nightclub owner Marko (Peter Lorre, Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon) who has been sneaking around her pIace, and there is Kirk Bennett (John Phillips), the adulterer who found his mistress s dead body and fled the scene. When Bennett is convicted and sentenced to death, his Iong-suffering wife Catherine (June Vincent) joins forces with the heartbroken pianist Martin Blair to uncover the truth...
BIack Angel is a consummate 1940s crime thriIIer which boats a suspensefuI narrative, strong performances and atmospheric, meticulousIy lit cinematography. Roy William NeilI s fiIm is presented here in a sumptuous restoration, with severaI ilIuminating new extras. |
