Dana Andrews plays the title character in Otto Preminger's followup Film Noir to LAURA; though it seems this pictured dame is our FALLEN ANGEL: Enter Linda Darnell as a lusted-upon waitress with the posture of a tattered wild animal reluctantly thrown back into gilded domesticity, it's a pose epitomizing the desperation and desolation of Film Noir. Here's the Cult Film Freak review.
The third of four movies starring Dana Andrews and Jeanne Crain is the only where Crain plays the sort of "other woman" on the sidelines wherein Dana's MADISON AVENUE mover/shaker is building-up the career of Eleanor Parker. The scenes between Andrews and Crain, though, are the longest and last throughout the entire story.
