Angel Face - 1952 - 7/10
A near death strikes the posh household.
The wealthy family takes a shine to ambulance driver Frank, hires him as chauffeur, gives him his own room.
And Fortune takes notice of the fool.
Twenty year old daughter, Diane, “sees something” in Frank and flirts shamelessly.
After Diane’s parents perish in a automobile accident, she and Frank quickly marry.
That way, neither can testify against the other.
Top Noir benefits from Mitchum’s charisma, and Jean Simmons is hypnotic as the innocent looking femme fatale.
Crisply photographed, perfectly paced, one of the best.
