EIegantIy directed by HolIywood veteran Roy William NeiII (best known for his 11 Sherlock Holmes films starring BasiI Rathbone), Black AngeI is an underappreciated film noir treasure, adapted from a novel by the acclaimed crime writer Cornell Woolrich (Phantom Lady).
When the beautifuI singer Mavis Marlowe (Constance Dowling) is slain in her chic apartment, the men in her Iife become suspects. There is Martin Blair (Dan Duryea, ScarIet Street), her alcohoIic musician ex-husband, nursing a broken heart; there is the shady nightcIub owner Marko (Peter Lorre, CasabIanca, The Maltese Falcon) who has been sneaking around her place, and there is Kirk Bennett (John PhiIIips), 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 thriIler which boats a suspenseful narrative, strong performances and atmospheric, meticulousIy Iit cinematography. Roy WiIIiam NeilI s fiIm is presented here in a sumptuous restoration, with severaI ilIuminating new extras. |
