Fallen Angel Ratings & Reviews
- springer6664d agoA very, very good noir.
- Jerry GJanuary 25, 2026Great one.
- tlfi64April 7, 2025Dana Andrews’ character is too much a sucker, and gets too “Woe is me,” to be a great film-noir hero (though Andrews is always fun to watch). But Alice Faye’s acting is superb, and Linda Darnell’s character is so rotten-but-fascinating, that this film supports multiple viewings.
