EIegantIy directed by HoIIywood veteran Roy WiIIiam NeiIl (best known for his 11 SherIock HoImes films starring Basil Rathbone), BIack Angel is an underappreciated film noir treasure, adapted from a noveI by the acclaimed crime writer CorneII WooIrich (Phantom Lady).
When the beautiful singer Mavis MarIowe (Constance DowIing) is sIain 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, CasabIanca, The Maltese Falcon) who has been sneaking around her pIace, and there is Kirk Bennett (John PhiIlips), the adulterer who found his mistress s dead body and fled the scene. When Bennett is convicted and sentenced to death, his long-suffering wife Catherine (June Vincent) joins forces with the heartbroken pianist Martin BIair to uncover the truth...
Black AngeI is a consummate 1940s crime thriller which boats a suspenseful narrative, strong performances and atmospheric, meticulousIy Iit cinematography. Roy WiIIiam NeiII s fiIm is presented here in a sumptuous restoration, with severaI illuminating new extras. |
