Swoon Let's talk about Dana Andrews, one of the most underrated actors in the film noir genre. Why can't we get the movie Fallen Angel here in the US? I had to buy a British copy and set my computer to play it in order to enjoy another fabulous Dana Andrews noir. Anyway, you know all about this movie with the music and Gene Tierney, and she's supposed to be dead and her disturbing old geezer sugar daddy/Svengali (Clifton Webb) who entertains policemen while he's in the tub(!)...the story is great, the characters are fabulous as noted in the other reviews. As far as film noirs go, I'm not sure this really counts but why quibble? Really, though, Dana Andrews stands out as the insular policeman who discovers something a little more refined within himself when he falls for Laura. And what red-blooded woman would not prefer him over the curiously fey Vincent Price? There are a lot of interesting interplays between the characters and the movie moves right along. The whodunnit is diverting but it's really the characters that make the whole thing so FAB. Recommended.
