	Movies - Black Angel

Black Angel is a 1946 black-and-white film noir based on the novel by Cornell Woolrich. Directed by Roy William Neill who directed many of the famous Sherlock Holmes film series. This would be his last film.

Plot

A falsely convicted man's wife, Catherine (June Vincent), and an alcoholic piano man, Martin (Dan Duryea) team up in an attempt to clear husband of the murder of the drunkard's wife. Their investigation leads them to face-to-face confrontations with a determined policeman (Crawford) and a shifty nightclub owner (Lorre). Catherine, as the investigation goes on, begins to suspect her new partner of the crime.

Reaction

Dark City The Film Noir, by Spencer Selby, calls Black Angel: "Important, stylish B-noir, featuring Dan Duryea as the ironic central character."

Writer Cornell Woolrich hated this adaption of his story which, aside from the conclusion, differed greatly from his book.
