Reader Reviews
This review is from: Angel Face [Region 2] (DVD)
Produced and directed by Otto Preminger, with the unlikely casting of Jean Simmons as a manipulative, deceitful, and dangerous vixen, this little-known noir is vastly entertaining, and well acted throughout. It has a fabulous score by Dimitri Tiomkin that sounds often like a classical piano concerto, a tight script by Ben Hecht, and wonderful b&w cinematography by Harry Stradling of the mansion on a hill, where most of the action takes place. The film starts out with the near-death of wealthy Mrs. Tremayne (Barbara O'Neil), that has the earmarks of being an attempted murder or suicide, but is deemed "an accident." One suspects that either her neer-do-well husband (Herbert Marshall), or her stepdaughter Diane (Simmons) had something to do with it. One of the ambulance attendants is tough-guy Frank (Robert Mitchum, perfectly cast), who gets immediately entangled with the seductive Diane, despite having a beautiful and sensible girlfriend (Mona Freeman). Jean Simmons, usually cast in gentler parts, is gorgeous as Diane, and manages to get a hard glint in her huge, liquid eyes, making her very believable as the wicked wench, who becomes obsessively in love with Frank, and involves him in her equally obsessive hatred of her stepmother. Also in the cast is Jim Backus, remembered for his humor as Thurston Howell III in "Gilligan's Island," and as the voice of Mr. Magoo, but here quite serious as District Attorney Judson. A nifty noir with a great cast, this film is one not to miss if one has the opportunity to see it on a classic movie channel, or locate a DVD of it. Total running time is 91 minutes.
