It's not the usual noir, but evocative and hard-nosed, one to watch. Lit by Joseph LaShelle, score by David Raksin. Written by Harry Kleiner from Marty Holland's novel.

Fallen Angel (1945 Otto Preminger)
Well - Dana Andrews' character seems reprehensible - he's going to marry Alice Faye just for her money, then slink off with slinky Linda Darnell, who's restless and desperate and weary. The problem is she's a magnet for men, including employer 'Pop' Percy Kilbride, corrupt ex-cop Charles Bickford (a truly nasty piece of work) and slot machine salesman Bruce Cabot. Anne Revere is the sister and Jimmy Conlin appears unbilled.
