Rating:  - OTTO PREMINGER, OPUS 9
****1/2 1945. Produced and directed by Otto Preminger, FALLEN ANGEL was based on Marty Holland's Fallen Angel. Walton, California. Eric Stanton is accused of the murder of Stella, a waitress he was attracted to. One year after Laura (Fox Film Noir), Preminger tells us once again the story of a woman adulated by all the men she meets and who becomes the source of a drama. The first apparition of Linda Darnell in Pop's coffee shop is unforgettable and Dana Andrews's cynical personification of Eric ... Read More
Rating:  - Kudos to Alice Faye in an unusual part
What this film lacks in suspense during the first half, it makes up for in the last 30 minutes. The lens of cameraman Joseph LaShelle coupled with the expertise of Otto Preminger's direction makes for a visually intriguing film -- easy on the eye and darkly atmospheric.

But the film doesn't really stand up on its own because the women are split evenly into ... Read More
Rating: - Happy Ending Film Noir
A very slick production, but with Alice Faye and a happy ending it is not realy film noir. Still quite enjoyable.
Rating: - Stick With It!!
It should be stated clearly at the outset that "Fallen Angel" requires careful and patient viewing: Dana Andrews arrives in a small California town in the dead of night. He was actually evicted from a Greyhound bus-he didn't have the fare to ride all the way to Frisco! It becomes immediately obvious that DA is a con man and not a terribly likeable one at that. His first stop is the local diner where he falls for the sultry waitress, Linda Darnell. LD is perfectly cast here. She wants nothing to do ... Read More
