Review of Black Angel (1946) by Kevin R — 25 Sep 2012

An obscure and not very well known B-Noir film. Except for a small Peter Lorre role the cast is not as illustrous as in many other noirs from the forties. Yet, the movie is very watchable and a classic with an odd but good twist coming at you in the end.

Also, occasionally the movie would loose its grittyness and typical cinematography, by introducing a bit too mainstream love interest and some cheesy (not noir) songs. So, except for the unglamourous cast and the lacklustre direction, the movie is a solid noir.
