Black Angel (Universal 1946, Dan Duryea, June Vincent)
In Black Angel, an unlikely pair of sleuths, a spurned ex-wife and a cuckolded drunk, attempt to clear the errant husband of the murder of the drunkard’s wife. As the electric chair looms larger, the wife begins to suspect her new partner of the crime. The thought begins to dawn on him, too. Terrific suspenser from a novel by Cornell Woolrich.
Black Angel has a very complex opening sequence, featuring a boom shot that starts on the street and enters a penthouse apartment.
