Angel Face (rewatch)
Posted by martinteller on March 20, 2010
I’ve watched 35 noir films in the past month and my enthusiasm for the genre hasn’t waned one iota. In fact, I’m more hungry for it than I ever was. What’s interesting about this one, besides the spectacular ending (one of the best of all time), is that Jean Simmons is very repentant as the femme fatale. Usually they end up being victims of their own schemes, but in this case she really has a guilty conscience about it. A little slow-moving, but generally satisfying. Rating: 8
