Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzIt's a twisty plotted film noir involving smugglers and a double-cross that is set on the dimly lit docks and in the swinging French Quarters of New Orleans.
User Review - 10/10 by Ashley HJohnny Angel is a solid film. It is about a ship captain who sets out to learn who hijacked a gold shipment from his father's ship and who killed his father. George Raft and Claire Trevor give remarkable performances. The screenplay is well written. Edwin L. Marin did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama. Johnny Angel is a must see.
User Review - 8/10 by Allan CI seem to remember reading that this film was a favorite of Jean-Luc Godard. In this non-typical film noir, George Raft plays a ship captain investigating the murder of his sea captain father. Stylishly directed by Edwin L. Marin, which is name I've never really taken note of, although he'd did direct a few entertaining films I'd seen, including "Tall in the Saddle" and "Mr. Ace". Raft has gives another of his usual wooden performances, which is good if you like Raft. It's not a classic noir, but it's pretty darn good.
User Review - 6/10 by Kevin RA fair to good B film noir I have seen better and I have seen worse film noir good cast makes movie more fun to watch
User Review - 6/10 by Greg Wgood noir pic from the first noir cycle from RKO
User Review - 6/10 by Paul DHard-boiled personal investigation from George Raft with shades of Bogart in his performance.
User Review - 6/10 by Jake TJOHNNY ANGEL (1945) Much has been written about the changes of fate in the film careers of George Raft & Humphrey Bogart. The irony is Bogart made lemonade out of flicks Raft believed were lemons in furthering his career. As Bogart reached stardom performing roles associated with Adventure rather than Gangsters, George Raft, still a viable Box Office Draw, was also given roles in a couple of movies that might have just as easily been offered to Bogart.The first opportunity for George Raft to try capturing the same success that Bogart had achieved in Casablanca & Across the Pacific (1943) was his Warner Brothers Swan Song - Background to Danger (1943) with Director Raoul Walsh, Writer William Faulkner and Co-Stars Sydney Greenstreet & Peter Lorre. The film successfully captured the Suspense and Non-Stop Thrills of a 12-Chapter Cliffhanger as the hero valiantly fights against a Nazi Fifth-Column in Neutral Turkey.Johnny Angel is George Raft's second swing at performing as an Adventurer. This film, like Background to Danger, is written to play-up Raft's strengths in the role of a Stoic-Tough-as-Nails Ship Captain, who's bound and determine to clear the name of his late father killed while in command of another Ship on its way from Casablanca with a cargo of Gold Bullion. This movie features several excellent Character Actors who have appeared over the years in several of Humphrey Bogart's Great WWII Adventure/Film Noir Flicks. Hoagy Carmichael, who made a big impression with audiences the year before in Howard Hawks' To Have and Have Not, returns in another memorable character role as a Worldly-Wise Cabby named Celestial O'Brien. It is interesting to note a key scene where Carmichael bullies Raft into stepping-up his acting game. Playing with a funny looking Gee Haw Whirligig Carmichael deliberately ignores Raft, forcing him to break-off the stiff stoic gaze and seize the moment by breathing life into the performance. While Raft's on screen chemistry with women seems to be forever reserved for his frequent co-star Sylvia Sidney, Actress Claire Trevor (Key Largo - 1948) steps up her raw sexuality enough to smoke-up the cinema!Lastly, the presence of Character Actors Signe Hasso (Seventh Cross - 1944), Margaret Wycherly (Crossroads - 1942) and Marvin Miller (Dead Reckoning - 1947) all help strengthen George Raft's performance and the film's story.Johnny Angel would have a better status today, if it wasn't for its misleading Gangster Theme Title. The Danish Title 'Gold From Casablanca' would have been a far better marketing handle. The film's plot is well written. All three writers, who contributed to the script, are renowned for their work in Film-Noir: Frank Gruber - The Mask of Dimitrios (1944), Charles G. Booth - The House on 92nd Street (1945) & Steve Fisher - Dead Reckoning (1947). The film's Cinematographer Harry J. Wild is also well-known for his great work in the Film-Noirs Murder, My Sweet (1944) & Macao (1952). JOHNNY ANGEL is a Great 'B' that garnered 'A' returns for RKO Radio Pictures, it should be made available on DVD.
