Page "Fallen Angel (1945 film)" Paragraph 22

Critic Tim Knight, at Reel. com, notes that if the viewers can forget the " headlong dive into preposterousness, it's still a lot of fun ".

His review adds, "... the movie does have much to recommend, from Joseph La Shelle's atmospheric, black-and-white cinematography to Preminger's taut direction to the juicy, hard-boiled dialogue.

Veteran character actors Charles Bickford, John Carradine and Percy Kilbride ( of Ma and Pa Kettle fame ) lend strong support to the sizzling twosome of Andrews and Darnell, who would make only one more film together, when they were both past their prime: 1957's Zero Hour !, a forgotten grade-Z thriller.
