Welcome! The lobby of the Deranged L.A. Crime theater is open! Grab a bucket of popcorn, some Milk Duds and a Coke and find a seat. Tonight’s feature is BLACK ANGEL (based on a novel by Cornell Woolrich) starring Dan Duryea, June Vincent, Peter Lorre and Broderick Crawford.
Wikipedia says:
A falsely convicted man’s wife, Catherine (June Vincent), and an alcoholic composer and pianist, Martin (Dan Duryea), team up in an attempt to clear her husband of the murder of a blonde singer, who is Martin’s wife. Their investigation leads them to face-to-face confrontations with a determined policeman (Broderick Crawford) and a shifty nightclub owner (Peter Lorre), who Catherine and Martin suspect may be the real killer.
Enjoy the film!

an unusual performance for Duryea,he usually played slick hustlers,but this is one of his best…his career in these types of films was ironic because he was the antithesis of the characters he played, he was a devoted family man in real life…i think i’ll pull this out and watch it again
Devlin – I didn’t know anything about Duryea’s private life. I like that he was a devoted family man.
