Richard D 10/05/2024 A noir whose message is don’t drink. It’s well made and the relationship is well done if a bit awkward. The trap that was set didn’t really make sense to exist but whatever. Lot more singing than I was expecting. Dan Duryea does a great job as a budget Humphrey Boggart. See more acsdoug D @acsdoug 04/07/2024 A couple of fine performances from Peter Lorre and Dan Duryea fail to take this beyond standard film noir fare. That's okay, I like standard film noir fare. See more nick s 10/16/2023 Well directed film noir, with good pacing and energy. A lot of nice camera work and framing. The story built organically and had a strong finish. The excellent acting was helped along by a captivating script. Actually, hard to fault. See more j F 10/04/2023 Duryea was excellent, sleazy yet compassionate. See more paul d @PaulusLoZebra 12/04/2021 Roy William Neill's Black Angel is a very good crime thriller and human drama. It's got a great 40s ambiance, a pleasing and very economic style typical of that era, and good performances from Dan Duryea, June Vincent, Peter Lorre and Broderick Crawford. The film is resolved by a surprising and somewhat annoying deus ex machina, but still comes out as a very satisfying story. To film buffs: I've heard that Duryea and Vincent are doing their own piano playing and singing in this film. Is that right ? It was very nice on both counts. See more andy f 05/09/2021 An entertaining if slightly lightweight film noir. Peter Lorre and Dan Duryea are terrific and worth the time for their performances. See more Read all reviews
