excellent Preminger
Jean Simmons meets the man of her dreams just as he walks into a nightmare in “Angel Face,” an Otto Preminger film released in 1952. Simmons is excellent as a beautiful young woman who hates her wealthy stepmother, adores her father, and is obsessed with an ambulance driver, played by Robert Mitchum, who comes to the family home when it appears Diane’s stepmother tried to kill herself. Although the victim claims that someone tried to kill her…Mitchum brings a perfect touch of ne’er do well and untrustworthiness to the role. He has ambition, he has a job, but he’s a jerk to his girlfriend (Mona Freeman) and seems more than happy to take up with Diane when she pursues him.
Simmons, though not as striking as Vivien Leigh, has a similar look – she’s petite, with a beautiful figure and facial structure, and gorgeous eyes. Her performance as Diane is right on – even the cynical Mitchum character can’t quite figure her out, even when he thinks he has. She keeps her stepmother off-balance, too. There are some wonderful touches – when she walks into her father’s house toward the end of the film, without any dialogue, one knows she can no longer live there.
The ending is breathtaking. This Preminger film has the pace lacking in “Fallen Angel,” which is another character study of a sort.
The ultimate femme fatale?
ANGEL FACE is a dark and brooding film noir mystery featuring a likable, laconic Robert Mitchum and Jean Simmons as the object of his love/nemesis. The story begins with paramedic Mitchum showing up as a result of a case of suspected gas poisoning, but before long he soon begins to fall in love with the victim’s stepdaughter, who rekindles his love of fast cars.What follows is a brooding slow-burner of a film with murky photography and even murkier character intentions. Mitchum essentially plays the viewer’s role, a newcomer to the almost Gothic mysteries surrounding this rich household, while Simmons bags a typically complex role and one she ably succeeds with. Otto Preminger’s direction brings out the atmosphere of the tale while the slow-building suspense is punctuated by outbursts of sudden violence which shock the viewer to the core.
