Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I love movies...
... where you can see how much contempt the law has for justice. If it did, people getting rid of blackmailers should not be prosecuted, but decorated (unless, of course, blackmailers are regarded as an endangered species and therefore should be protected, which just proves my point).

Aside of that, R.W. Neill, having completed the Sherlock Holmes series, really made a very fine job with this one -very good story, fine cast- just got me regretting his heart attack prevented him from making more of this caliber.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Noir Angel
BLACK ANGEL (1946): Not the best film noir you'll ever experience, the plot being the weakest element. But if you are a Dan Duryea fan (as I am), then add a star; it becomes a must see. Duryea gets a lot of screen time, which is unusual for him. Lorre fans may be a little disappointed as the character of Marko is a little underwritten and understated.

It is directed by Roy William Neill; his last film. Neill is perhaps best known for his directorial work on the Basil Rathbone/Sherlock Holmes series. In fact, a later pub-crawling scene reminds me of a sequence in SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE SECRET WEAPON (1943).

THE PLOT:
A blackmailing beauty is murdered: suspects abound. Is it Martin Blair (Duryea), her drunken, jilted husband, or perhaps Marko (Peter Lorre), a fellow who was seen entering the building to ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Glossy and Involving Noir
This Universal crime noir benefits greatly from a beautiful score by Frank Skinner and some glossy production values from Roy William Neill, who added some nice directorial touches as well. An excellent cast of noir regulars and lovely June Vincent keep us interested. While the tension of a wronged wife remaining true to a cheating husband, attempting to save him from being executed for the murder of his lover, doesn't have the nail biting tension it should, it is still quite engrossing.

Dan Duryea is Martin Blair, the songwriter husband of beautiful Mavis Marlowe, whose penchant for blackmail gets her strangled to death in 1940's Los Angeles. Discovering her body when he arrives for a rendezvous, Kirk Bennett flees the scene and soon finds himself on death row. June Vincent is excellent as his wife; a woman of quality made for ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A great film noir movie
This movie is now one of my personal favorites in the category of film noir. I had never seen the movie before and I absolutely loved it. All of the actors were great. I especially enjoyed the actress that played the accused man's wife. I would highly recommend this movie to the "die-hard" film noir fans out there.
