Black Angel
When a beautiful hard-boiled blackmailer is murdered in her
swank apartment, there are any number of men who might have done
it. There's Martin Blair (Dan Duryea), the drunken husband she's
dumped; there's shady nighclub owner Marko (Peter Lorre); and
there's Kirk Bennet (John Phillips), who was cheating on his
wife with her.
It's Bennet who was spotted at the crime scene and it's his
long-suffering wife, Catherine (June Vincent), who sets out to
save him from being executed. Suspecting Marko, she teams up
with Blair to perform in Marko's club and investigate. Suspense
- and romance - follow as this taut murder-mystery winds its way
through a maze of clues to a first-rate surprise ending.
Strong performances and stylish atmosphere result in edge-of-
your-seat entertainment and one of "the 25 most memorable cult
films" (Andrew Sarris, Village Voice).
