Fallen Angel (Fox Film Noir)

Description

June Mills (Alice Faye) and her sister Clara live a quiet life in a small coastal town until Eric Stanton (Dana Andrews), a smooth-talking con man, comes into their lives. He seems to fall hard for June but Clara believes he?s only interested in the family fortune. Meanwhile, sultry waitress Stella (Linda Darnell) catches Stanton's fancy and thinks he might be her ticket out of town. The local cop (Charles Bickford) knows more than he's telling about his fellow citizens and their tangled relationships which draw even tighter after a shocking murder.

Stick With It!!.......2007-08-05

It should be stated clearly at the outset that "Fallen Angel" requires careful and patient viewing: Dana Andrews arrives in a small California town in the dead of night. He was actually evicted from a Greyhound bus-he didn't have the fare to ride all the way to Frisco! It becomes immediately obvious that DA is a con man and not a terribly likeable one at that. His first stop is the local diner where he falls for the sultry waitress, Linda Darnell. LD is perfectly cast here. She wants nothing to do with the struggling hustler. DA turns to nice girl Alice Faye, who happens to be loaded! The blonde Faye is in perfect contrast to the dark haired Darnell. DA plans to marry Faye, steal her $$ and marry LD! However, this reviewer felt that the movie had no spark until Darnell is murdered- on Andrews' wedding night no less! Afraid of being framed for the untimely demise, Andrews and his new bride flee to San Francisco. During that intense trip, the movie takes shape. DA realizes he has married a nice, classy girl who loves him. The hotel room scenes are actually quite romantic, given the moral codes of the time. DA returns to the small town and FA is quickly wrapped up. Good reviews should not give away resolutions but the ending to "Fallen Angel" is fast and satisfying. This reviewer can cite only two weaknesses to FA: 1) it takes awhile to gel. The most critical scenes are in the final 10 minutes; the careful and patient viewing stated above will be rewarded. 2) One wonders how interesting a second watching would be, once the improbable perp is identified. Amazoners are encouraged to scroll down and read the preceding reviews! There are several nice fascinating tidbits about FA listed! There are certainly some knowledgeable classic movie fans out there! A final thought: Wouldn't Lizabeth Scott have been perfect for the Darnell role? She could have sung the theme song! And if she wound up dead, it would not have been the first time Liz met her demise while the cameras rolled!

A MUST FOR ANY FILM NOIR COLLECTION!!!.......2007-07-28

This excellent film deserves to be considered among anyone's list of the best film noir movies ever made. The script is not standardized, so the unexpected is always occurring. There is always a twist in the plot. You never know what is coming.

Otto Preminger's direction is taut, focused and he certainly knew how to get the best performances out of all of his actors. As a follow up to the classic film "Laura," also starring Dana Andrews, he etched his name indelibly on the film noir genre.

David Raksin, who wrote the song "Laura" for the movie of the same name, also wrote the theme song for this film.

And the actors are wonderful. Dana Andrews gives his usual fine performance, turning from a hardened con man into a person who can love. The character actors also carry the film: all of them are magnificent. Anne Revere, Charles Bickford, Bruce Cabot and even Percy Kilbride give three dimensional performances that are awesome.

I mention the two female stars last because the situation was interesting. They are as different as night and day from each other. Linda Darnell, dark, beautiful and smouldering, is cast opposite Alice Fay, fair, serious and loyal. Now Ms. Faye was very angry when she saw the final version of the film, feeling her best moments had been edited out and, although she had no hard feelings for Ms. Darnell, she felt the film focused on Ms. Darnell's performance and kind of left her out, or at least placed her at second string. She did not make another film for 16 years.

I believe that, regardless of the cut scenes, Alice Faye made a perfect, not lesser, compliment to Linda Darnell, and each equally gave sterling performances. Neither played second fiddle to each other. Both of their performances were of very high quality and admirable.

You can't miss with this one. It's really enjoyable to watch such quality film making.

A very good, well written movie --a class act.......2007-07-17

I wanted a good classic movie from the 40's--I am in awe of the 30s and 40s era movies. And the 50s had excellent movies too. There is something special about those classic black and white suspense movies that are great. I was born in late 1947 and wanted to rercapture that time period. This won't be my only purchase of a Fox Film Noir. Thank you so much--an excellent purchase.

Dana Andrews, Linda Darnell & a Calfornia beach at night.........2007-05-31

How can you beat that? One of my favorite of the genre' so far. Eric (Andrews) rolls into town penniless. He's been kicked off a bus headed for San Francisco. He finds himself at Pop's, the local diner. The biggest attraction in town is the waitress, Stella (Darnell). Keeping track of her are Pops, the jukebox repairman, the local retired big city dick (Charles Bickford) & Eric who falls for her immediately. Stella is looking to blow this town. Eric wants it to be with him. He needs $$ & after a brief business deal, he meets decides to romance the richest girl in town, June(Alice Faye). She's not exactely chopped liver but is very gullible & falls for Eric immediately. In a matter of days it seems, they are married & headed for San Francisco . She has given Eric full access to her $20,000. At this point, Stella wants nothing to do with Eric. He's a married man. Besides, she also has other men she is stringing along. Eric & June return & that night Stella is murdered. Eric is not found in his bride's bed the next morning. Guess that would make him the prime suspect. The retired cop starts a velvet glove investigation he was famous for back east. The end may surprise you. Otto Preminger knows how to direct noir, & Andrews is very good in this one.

Drifter stumbles into a small town murder.......2006-09-13

Otto Preminger's deft directing and production crafted the hard boiled film noir "Fallen Angel", with the aid of an accomplished cast, into a genre classic. The film's murky, moody plot along with some typically dark cheerless black and white cinematography perfectly set the tenor of the film.

Penniless and scheming drifter Eric Stanton played masterfully by Dana Andrews disembarks from a Greyhound bus in the small seaside California town of Walton. Walking into the local diner, Pops, he is immediately smitten with sultry waitress Stella played by the alluring Linda Darnell. Darnell happens to be the amorous focus of most of the menfolk of the small town. Looking for a way out of town, she almost falls for the glib tongued Andrews' promises to marry and take care of her.

Andrews has also become acquainted with the upstanding Mills sisters June and Clara. Desperate for money to woo Darnell, Andrews with eyes on $25,000 of the Mills sisters inheritance, marries younger sister June played by Alice Faye. The plans immediately change when Darnell is found murdered and Andrews is implicated.

The investigation is headed by a tough, craggy Mr. Judd, a retired ex- New York cop played by Charles Bickford who is aiding the Walton chief of police. Bickford's brutal, kid gloved technique causes Andrews to flee the scene with the faithful Faye in tow.

Product Description

Homicide detective John Hobbes (Washington) pursues a killer down a bustling sidewalk. There she is a small, middle-aged woman. No, wait: the killer is the timid man beside her. Now it is someone else. It is all and none of them. Because the murderer Hobbes seeks is a demon passing from one human host to another with a brush of an overcoat or touch of a hand. Hobbes stalks a seemingly immortal foe in Fallen, an intense thriller co-starring John Goodman and Donald Sutherland, written by Nicholas Kazan (Reversal of Fortune) and directed by Gregory Hoblit (Primal Fear). An ages-old evil faces a shattering showdown with one clever, tenacious man.

Amazon.com

Although it received mixed reactions from critics and audiences alike when released in 1998, this supernatural thriller benefits from a sustained atmosphere of anticipation and dread, and its combination of detective mystery and demonic mischief is handled with ample style and intelligence. Under the direction of Gregory Hoblit (who fared better with Primal Fear), Denzel Washington plays detective John Hobbes, who witnesses the gas-chamber execution of a serial killer (Elias Koteas). But when another series of murders begins, Hobbes suspects that the killer's evil spirit has survived and is possessing the bodies of others to do its evil bidding. Even Hobbes's trusted partner (John Goodman) thinks the detective is losing his grip on reality, but the dire warnings of a noted linguist (Embeth Davidtz) confirm Hobbes's far-out theory, and his case intensifies toward a fateful showdown. Although its idea is better than its execution, and the story's film noir ambitions are never fully accomplished, this slickly directed thriller has some genuinely effective moments in which evil forces are entwined into the fabric of everyday reality. Among the highlights is a memorable scene in which Detective Hobbes must track the killer as the evil spirit is transferred between many people via physical contact. Even if the film is ultimately less than the sum of its parts, it's an intriguing hybrid that resides in the same cinematic neighborhood as Seven and The Silence of the Lambs with a cast that also includes Donald Sutherland and James Gandolfini. Included on the DVD is a full-length audio commentary by director Hoblit, screenwriter Nicholas Kazan, and producer Charles Roven. --Jeff Shannon

Fallen In Love.......2007-04-21

I've seen this movie about, oh my, dont remember the last time I seen this movie, but last week I bought. Why? Well, I remember how much I'm a big Denzel fan and how much I was so intrigue by this movie. So I thought, well, I'm going to buy it. I watched it last night. It was like Dejavu (spooky music - ok lame joke) because I remember like it was yesterday. This movie is almost a master piece. This movie has everything that a good thriller should want. When Denzel left the cop shop and was following that old lady and man, and from there was all spooked out. Brilliant! And when the Lady was running and the whole line was touching to get to the Lady . . . Wow??? Awesome Movie! It's not the best thriller, but its up there. I dont think alot of people give this movie a try, but they really should because I still think it was one of Denzel best (script) movies. His best acting, "see John Q" Rent this movie if you dont buy it. Give it a try!!

I love Denzel Washington, he is a great actor and brings character to every role he plays this movie is no exception. Cops with a spooky side stir the imagination................And, John Goodman really drives the word spooky home...............

Cynics have suggested that death is a shrewd career move for some artists, and when it comes to singer-songwriter Gram Parsons, whose life, work, and demise are chronicled in Fallen Angel, they may be right. Although undeniably talented, Parsons never had a hit and made just six albums, and only one of them (the Flying Burrito Brothers' The Gilded Palace of Sin) is a bona fide classic. That's one reviewer's opinion, anyway. Yet three decades after he died (in 1975, at age 26), Parsons is revered as a country rock pioneer, a significant influence on Keith Richards and the Rolling Stones, and a colossal talent who never got his due. While that may all be true, what's beyond dispute (and it's confirmed by the great majority of those interviewed in director Gandulf Henning's documentary) is that Parsons was a screw-up, a drunk and drug abuser who squandered his opportunities and dug himself an early grave, even by rock star standards. It wasn't all his fault. Any kid with a family background like his (his father committed suicide and his mother died from the ravages of alcoholism… possibly with the assistance of her second husband, Parsons' stepfather, who was a big drinker himself) is bound to have, shall we say, issues; Parsons was also well off financially, a fact that many interviewees (most notably Chris Hillman, who played with him in the Byrds and the Burritos) suggest might have attributed to his lack of driving ambition. Richards, duet partner Emmylou Harris, and other former bandmates are on hand to tell the tale, along with his widow, various surviving relatives, and close friends and associates. There's lots of Parsons' music on the soundtrack, as well as excerpts from a couple of Burritos promo films and some interesting footage of him singing with Harris. In the end, the film's most haunting moments concern the events that followed Parsons' death, when road manager Phil Kaufman commandeered (stole, actually) his casket and drove it to California's Joshua Tree National Monument, where he set it on fire, apparently according to the singer's wishes. Now that is the stuff of legend. --Sam Graham

Description

This definitive biography chronicles a Southern Gothic saga and is a fascinating look at "the Grievous Angel" and the heartbreakingly beautiful music he created. Dispelling myths that have grown to surround Gram, Fallen Angel shows us the essence of his artistry; it is a truly revealing account of his life and ongoing influence. Fallen Angel features music from Gram Parsons' groundbreaking career with The International Submarine Band, The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, as well as his highly acclaimed solo albums. Featured interviews include Peter Buck, James Burton, Emmylou Harris, Chris Hillman, Phil Kaufman, Bernie Leadon, Avis Bartkus Parsons III, Gretchen Parsons Carpenter, Diane Parsons, Polly Parsons, Keith Richards, Dwight Yoakam, and more.

Best video about Gram I've ever seen (even though it's the only one)!.......2007-08-29

I've been a Gram Parsons fan for nearly 30 years. I own most of his music, play his songs on guitar, and have read both books about his life. If you fall into this category, YOU NEED THIS VIDEO!!

Not Enough Music.......2007-06-08

It's a very poignant and emotionally intense film, but there's not enough music. Some full length videos of Gram playing all of a song would have added a lot to this work. I was really impressed by the rhythm of revelation of Gram's life and character by the series of interviews. Sometimes I could anticipate the direction the story would go next. I could easily give 5 stars if there had been more music. I am a huge Rolling Stons fan and Keith's "role" in this film or even in Gram's life did not disappoint me in the least. Maybe if there had been some "extra's" on the DVD (of Gram Parsons' performances) that would have been enough, because as I said, the film moves very well.

we miss you graham.......2007-06-08

wonderful artist - timeless music - too bad he wasnt with us longer

Missed Opportunity.......2007-05-16

The best I can say for this rockumentary is that, well, at least there's something about Gram Parsons out there now. . . However, the sense of proportion in this film is so skewed Parsons comes across as a glamourous rock-and-roll loser rather than the unlikely influence he became after his premature death. More time, for instance, is dedicated to his outlandish psychodelic suits than to his ground breaking albums GP and The Grievous Angel, and no time at all is set aside for discussion and interviews that help explain why Parsons's work ultimately influenced so many musicians so deeply. Though Keith Richards, Emmylou Harris, and several Byrds members offer fascinating insights in Parsons's life, the family interviews (and the unfolding of the rather complex Parsons family history) is confusing if not confused. There are woefully few interview snippets with Parsons, himself, though I'm certain interviews with him exist because I have heard them. Sadly, in the end, rather than illuminating Parsons' flash of genius in the early 1970s, the film unintentionally portrays him as a Rolling Stones hanger-on and a want-to-be rock star rather than the underrated visionary he became--the man who helped reinvent country music and establish its relationship to rock music. Fallen Angel, therefore, is an interesting but failed film, a missed opportunity that might have helped give Gram Parsons his proper due and help place him a bit more securely in the American music pantheon.

Middlin'.......2007-04-10

Sadly, a lot of wasted interviews here. And altogether too much time on an unimportant band manager. Emmylou H. and Keith R. provide some nice small revelations. Avis Parsons, Gretchen Carpenter, and Diane Parsons provide moving reminiscences of the man and his effects. Hillman, Burton, and Leadon provide woefully little insight into the music--they are the wasted interviews. Peter Buck and Dwight Yoakam come across as nobodies, time fillers.

In the impressive filmography of British director Carol Reed, The Fallen Idol is sandwiched between Odd Man Out and The Third Man--the second of three consecutive masterpieces (adapted by Graham Greene from his short story "The Basement Room") by a filmmaker at the peak of his artistic powers. Of those three, The Fallen Idol is the most delicately subdued, but it's a flawlessly plotted thriller that achieves considerable tension through the psychology of its characters. By telling the story through the eyes of a child, the plot gains even greater urgency as a variation on the theme of "the boy who cried wolf," as young Phillipe (Bobby Henrey)--the 8-year-old son of the French ambassador to England--struggles to clear his beloved embassy butler Baines (Ralph Richardson) from being wrongfully accused of murder.

Baines is burdened with a shrewish, overbearing wife (Sonia Dresdel) whose rigid, disciplinarian control of Phillipe sets the stage for suspense; when Mrs. Baines dies in a terrible fall on the embassy staircase, her husband (who has been having a secret affair with an embassy typist) is the prime suspect. Phillipe, caught between his love for Baines and his suspicion of the butler's guilt, tries to convince investigators of Baines's innocence. But the boy's pleas are ignored, and The Fallen Idol expertly plays on the child's good but woefully misguided intentions. In Reed's visual strategy, a simple paper airplane can become the focus of almost unbearable suspense, and as incriminating evidence builds a strong case against Baines, Reed maintains that suspense to the final moments of the film. Low-key and yet still highly effective, the film received Oscar nominations for Reed's direction and Greene's adapted screenplay. --Jeff Shannon

Description

The Fallen Idol was the first of three collaborations between director Carol Reed and writer Graham Greene, who would later team up on the legendary The Third Man, and is a small masterpiece itself. An elegant, thrilling balancing act of suspense and farce, this tale of the fraught relationship between a boy and his beloved butler, who the child eventually believes might be guilty of murder, is a visually and verbally dazzling knockout, with enough tricks up its sleeve to stand with the best of early Hitchcock.

Customer Reviews:

Middling British tale of suspense.......2007-09-15

The Carol Reed produced and directed "The Fallen Idol" a modestly appealing drama centering on the relationship between a boy and his faithful and beloved butler. Phillippe, a lonely young lad played by 9 year old Bobby Henrey is the son of the French ambassador to England. His household is run by the butler Baines played by Ralph Richardson and his acerbic, vitriolic wife played by Sonia Dresdel, who is despised by both the boy and her husband.

Richardson has been carrying on an affair with consulate worker Julie played by Michele Morgan and wishes to be free of his wife. The ambassador is called away to care for his convalescing wife leaving the house in the hands of the staff.

During this time Richardson and Dresdel have a major row with the governess accidently falling down a long staircase and breaking her neck. The boy Phillipe sees part of the fight and assumes that the butler killed her. In a touching display young Phillipe lies to Scotland Yard investigators to protect his friend and ally Richardson.

Reed creates an aura of suspense and tension as the investigators roam through the mansion searching for clues and trying to pin a murder on Richardson. A scene involving a paper airplane made from an incriminating telegram is particularly Hitchcockian in its ability to ratchet up the intrigue. He fashions this taut little drama as seen through the eyes of the young master of the consulate.

Gem of a film from postwar Britain . . ........2007-07-25

This is a film that cries out to be seen on a big screen. The gorgeous black and white cimeatography, the deep focus that fills the frame with detail, and the imaginative lighting, treatment of camera angles, and night-time montages make this a remarkable visual experience. Meanwhile, the story is an absorbing and entertaining child's perspective of an affair between his father's butler and an attractive young member of the household staff, which leads to an accidental death that looks to the police like murder. Director Carol Reed is at the peak of his powers in this 1948 drama based on a story by Graham Greene, who also wrote the screenplay. Ralph Richardson is wonderful as the butler, and Reed (as the DVD interviews reveal) coaxes a thoroughly believable performance from young Bobbie Henrey as the boy who gets entangled in the intrigues of grownups. A gem of a film that belongs among the best of the Criterion Collection.

The Fallen Idol.......2007-06-25

Told from a child's point of view, Reed's absorbing adaptation of Graham Greene's short story follows the relationship between a lonely boy (whose pet plaything is, alas, a garden snake) and his caring gentleman domestic. Richardson and Dresdel are marvelous as well-heeled embassy servants whose marriage is empty and bloodless, and whose staircase squabble over Baines's lover Julie (Morgan) results in tragedy. Fusing elements of suspense with a hushed marital drama, Reed sets up the dichotomy between Phillipe's observations of events and the adult world's with depth and sensitivity to his innocence. Pay tribute to "The Fallen Idol."

Masterpiece.......2007-06-24

'The Fallen Idol' is a beautiful and intricate film about a boy growing up in a complex adult world of unhappiness, repressed emotion, secrecy and lies.

Based on a Graham Greene screenplay, the film is very literate, and this makes it stand out from other suspense or thriller films of its time, even the better ones of Hitchcock.

The acting, particularly by Ralph Richardson as Baines the butler unhappily married to Mrs. Baines played by Sonia Dresdel, and Michelle Morgan as his Baines' lover Julie, is superb. Bobby Henrey gives a charming and perfectly natural performance as the boy Phillipe.

The sets of the ambassadorial house, with its black and white chequered floor and marble staircases, are elegant and beautiful, and the interior scenes are very much like carefully constructed set pieces.

Reed directs magnificently, and the result is a perfect film which leaves a lasting impression on the viewer.

Quite Boring!.......2007-03-06

Sorry, but I can't agree with most of the below reviewers. I found this movie quite boring--the story, acting, and yes, the directing. For me it contained almost no suspense whatsoever, I found the characters shallow, and the ending not at all satisfying. A lot to do and say about nothing. It is referred to as a thriller--this term can in no way pertain to this movie, at least in the way its used for today's movies. Until near the end, nothing was really at stake or in danger. The overall feeling the movie left me was FLAT. Perhaps at its time it was thought to be great, but not by today's standards. Interestingly, I saw the movie when I was very young--my opinion was the same then!

Two words: Get it .......2004-12-14

I don't have a lot to add to "Randroid"'s review. Wong Kar-Wai is one of the world's premier directors, making audacious, complex films that grab one's heart. Influenced by the French New Wave, bent through the prism of Hong Kong cinema, his is a stylish and unique vision. This box set contains five of his seven films that have been released to DVD:

-- As Tears Go By
-- Days of Being Wild
-- Chungking Express
-- Fallen Angels
-- Happy Together.

Fans of Happy Together will be particularly pleased by the newly remastered Kino version -- I had only viewed a VHS copy before, which was atrocious. There are also a bunch of new extras on this DVD, including an hour long 'making of' feature. The other DVDs all seem to be clear and crisp, though without significant extras beyond the usual trailers (there are still galleries and filmographies, and some brief comments by Quentin Tarantino on Chungking Express).

With the exception of Chungking Express, these have not been readily available in stores, and this box set is a cost effective presentation showing the development of a major directorial talent. We also get to see some wonderful stars of Hong Kong cinema such as Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung and Leslie Cheung, Andy Lau, Brigitte Lin and Faye Wong, often in roles different from their usual or at crucial points in their careers.

Of his other two films, In The Mood For Love is available in a sumptuous Criterion release. Unfortunately, Ashes of Time seems to be caught in some kind of 'intellectual property' hell, and the DVD is supposed to be even worse than the VHS, which is barely viewable. Maybe Kino can somehow gain the rights to Ashes as well and do a decent ramastering. (Hint to Kino: It would be nice to have a feature explaining some of the historical/literary background that is unfamiliar to western viewers)

A magnificent set of magnificent movies.......2004-10-23

Wong Kar-wai is simply one of the best directors working in Hong Kong today, and in all the world, for that matter. His characters are brilliantly realized, his style is stunningly kenetic, and cinematography (mostly by Christopher Doyle of "Hero" fame) is gorgeous. All in all a good set. Thus far, I would rank these films as follows, from best to . . . well, least best:

1. Chungking Express
2. Happy Together
3. Days of Being Wild
4. Fallen Angels
5. As Tears Go By

Be sure to pick up Wong's other film "In The Mood For Love", and you'll be sure to be awaiting the American release of his new film, "2046". "Ashes of Time", sadly, is a terrible DVD, so perhaps a Criterion release is in order?

Film Noir Boxed Set.......2007-03-28

I have watched about half of these movies & so far all of them have been very good, in fact, much better than I expected. I find Dana Andrews to be a very compelling leading man & the actresses in all of these are superb as well. I hope Fox will resolve their issues with "Boomerang" which is #16 in the set, (which is not included with your purchase) so that I can add this one to the collection. My only complaint is that this collection is not really a boxed set. It is simply 17 great film noir DVD's shrink-wrapped together. However, this is a great value & lots of these titles are being released for the first time in this set. Highly recommended for those who like the genre.

remember...no 16 Boomerang is still missing.......2007-03-18

This set misses out no.16 "Boomerang". It got recalled at the eleventh hour by Fox because of a legal tangle.
You can find it on sale for $45.00 on amazon marketplace, because it was actually printed and ready to go.
Clearly a few boxes have found their way out the back door!!!!
But despite that wee dissapointment you'll love the rest.
Hopefully Fox will sort out the mess soon..... and then you can plug the gap without having to shell out silly money.

better price (than list) to start your collection, but not the best deal on noir.......2007-03-12

I haven't yet purchased these titles & was just about to, until I checked up on what's included with the current bundle (March 1 2007) that Amazon is offering. As previously mentioned, this is not a box set (misleading description from Amazon), but rather a bundle of the first 17 titles in Fox's noir series. I purchased the Warner Bros.' boxes 1-3 (and reviewed them there) which I thought were an excellent value for the money (when on sale, roughly 6 - 7$ per disc). I've held off on these since the price is higher. This bundle discounts the titles to about $8 per disc, which is better than the usual price for each, but a local retailer often sells these titles for 7.50 - 10.00 (with a buy 3 get 1 free sale). Still I would have jumped on this price had this been a bonafide box set with the slimmer DVD cases, but these regular dvd's will take up quite a bit of real estate in my storage. Moreover, the more recent titles aren't included (missing titles: Boomerang, 14 Hours, Shock, Vicki, all released last year). If Fox would release all the titles to date (plus the next releases: Hangover Square & The Lodger) in slim cases & a box at a comparable price I'll jump, otherwise I'm holding out for a better deal.

Don't Forget This One Too................2006-03-05

For some reason the Fox Noir release Dark Corner (Mark Stevens, Lucille Ball, Clifton Webb, William Bendix) doesn't get much coverage under the typical outlets for obtaining these Fox Noir titles, Amazon included. I didn't even know the title was even out there, but it is, and it is quite a Noir gem. I say this without hesitation because I was never a Lucy fan at all. But in this one, she's actually pretty cool. Too bad she went goofy in later life (I guess it paid the bills).
If you like the Fox Noir series and Noir in general, don't forget this one too. I got mine from Tower Records (seems hard to find for some reason). The famous "peering through the venetian blinds" scene that you see stills of all the time, that's Mark Stevens. A somewhat overlooked actor in Noir circuit, but he can hold up to any of the other more noted ones in my opinion. Check it out.

An indispensable series for aficionados of film noir.......2006-01-10

The Fox film noir collection is an "Amazon.com exclusive" consisting of 9 DVDS in their individual cases (alas including individual shrink wrap, which one tediously has to remove) presented in one blister pack. The nine titles are:
*** BATCH 1 (DVDs released 3/05): Call Northside 777 (1948); Laura (1944); Panic in the streets (1950)
*** BATCH 2 (DVDs released 6/05): House of bamboo (1955); Nightmare alley (1947); Street with no name (1948)
*** BATCH 3 (DVDs released 9/05): House on 92nd Street (1945); Somewhere in the night (1946); Whirlpool (1949)

The film restorations are superbly done. The DVD cases are in uniform format, being part of the "Fox film noir" series. Each title has a film commentary (Laura has two) plus other extras, minimally a trailer. In addition, each title has a 4-page booklet with these sections: "the lineup," "the look," "the scoop," "the story," and "scene selection."

The DVDs list for $14.95 each and currently Amazon sells them for around $10 each. Amazon sells the 9-DVD collection for $74.99, which works out to $8.33 for each DVD. Certainly, not all titles are of the caliber of Laura (1944), but this collection is a must-have for the firm-noir aficionado.

Incidentally, BATCH 4, was released 12/05 and consists of: The dark corner (1946); Kiss of death (1947); Where the sidewalk ends (1950). BATCH 5 will be released in 3/06: Fallen angel (1945); House on Telegraph Hill (1951); No way out (1950)

Alain Silver & Elizabeth Ward's "Film noir: An encyclopedic reference to the American style" (1992, 3rd ed.) lists 32 noir titles by Fox. Hence we can probably expect from Fox another 20 or so titles in the "Fox film noir" series. If these 32ish titles all materialize in this excellent series, it will be a big chunk both out of one's purse and DVD shelf space.

One of the Best Wong Kar Wai Films!.......2007-07-15

This has to be my very favorite Wong Kar Wai Film. It's beautifully shot like all his films. He's a genius.

Must have for Wong Kar Wai fans!.......2007-04-02

As a sort of 'sequel' to Chungking Express, it definitely holds it's own quirkiness & action-packed fun! Viewers also get to enjoy watching Takeshi Kaneshiro once again. Definitely a Must-Have!

The Daddy of the Kar Wai Canon.......2006-10-18

Fallen Angels could have been so named due to its dropped origin as part of director Wong Kar Wai's previous film Chunking Express, emerging afterwards as a follow up. To hear the critics tell it, `Express' is his masterpiece, regularly making the `best movies ever made' lists along side such exalted company as your Citizens Kane's and Casablanca's. But for me Fallen Angels is, to date, the daddy of the Wong Kar Wai canon.

Fallen Angel tells of a not quite burnt-out hit man, Leon, who begins to tire of the whole `gun for hire' malarkey and decides to quit on account of his burgeoning feelings for the female operative who he has never met, but who plans his jobs for him. The female operative, Michelle, also emotes for our existential assassin but somehow they both realise that if they ever did come face to face the fantasy would evaporate. The unrequited love thing is Kar Wai's forte but here it is more a case of "As long as you don't look at it, it won't disappear." So their love continues on the basis of ensuring that it never really exists. Anxious to avoid an inevitable unprofessional encounter, our navel gazing killer goes off on an adventure into the Kowloon night where he crosses paths with a series of likable reprobates before embarking on that fatal "one last job."

This takes us not so neatly into a `mad as a hatter' subplot about a petty criminal who was rendered mute as a boy by a can of `out of date' pineapples. He goes out at night and gets up to a range of activities such as massaging a dead pig and kidnapping a family and forcing them to eat ice cream. He to falls in love, with a girl who believes she has been beaten to the altar by someone called Blondie. He helps her go in search of the usurper of her affections resulting in a hilarious beating up of a blow up doll!

Cinematographer and Kar Wai regular Christopher Doyle engages a warped and gaudy neon look throughout; something of a trade mark in Kar Wai films. This is the world from inside a Wurlitzer juke box - or, at least, through the eyes of a tranquilised goldfish and this, incidentally, is not a complaint. The other thing I like about this film is that it walks the line between the art house `heart warmers' of the best of European cinema and the `Glock Opera' pyrotechnics of John Woo and Ringo Lam.
Genre clash - it's the future.

Sundown in the City.......2006-10-13

Wong Kar-Wai is the modern cinema's premier poet of loss and longing. His characteristically enigmatic films capture the erratic rhythms and ephemeral nature of memory and torment: fleeting, fragmented, wandering only to return obsessively to its central foci.

While Wong's debut, "As Tears Go By", was a relatively straightforward commercial riff on Scorsese's "Mean Streets" and the 'heroic bloodshed' style of Hong Kong street opera pioneered by action maestro John Woo, he would establish with "Days of Being Wild" and "Chungking Express" a signature style characterized by visual bravura mixed with interwoven and intensely introspective tales of emotionally isolated young people adrift in the shadow kingdom of urban postmodernity. Eschewing more traditional narrative formats for an ellipitical self-referrentiality that mirrors memory itself, Wong's films are rarely instantly accessible, but reward the patient viewer with intoxicating moods and contemplative brilliance.

"Fallen Angels" was originally conceived as something of a 'nightside' sequal/companion piece to "Chungking Express." Structurally and thematically it mirrors the latter with two seperate plotlines, each centering on a pair of twentysomethings (a hitman and his female 'agent' in one and a strange, mute confidence man and the girl he takes a shine to in the other) in search of love but unable or unwilling to find it in each other. Assorted camera tricks, fish eye lenses, slow motion sequences and the strategic use of a gloriously bittersweet pop soundtrack all help to capture a mood of frantic desperation and the distortions of memory and longing.

Wong also invokes the first of his 'art' films, "Days of Being Wild," returning to its concern with the loss and meaning of identity in an impersonal world. Leon Lai's hitman and Takeshi Kaneshiro's petty criminal both try - and fail - to remake their lives on ths straight and narrow. One of them manages a peace of sorts with his failure - the other goes out out in a bittersweet blaze of glory. Wong also explores the way in which longing (mis)identifies others: his characters view each other through the distorted lens memory and desire - what they see is not reality, but a projection of their own dreams - and when the truth is made manifest, it is always the cruelest blow.

a great movie.......2006-05-14

Fallen Angels is a truly special film, but it's not for everyone. It's gritty in a stylish way, shot mostly handheld with available light. But it's not gritty in the way most American pictures are; shaky cameras with perfect lighting and snappy editing. The takes are long, and the film is often grainy.

Wong Kar-Wai explores the transitory nature of life here. It's a little confusing, and the characters are beyond weird, but they really do have heart. The frantic pace and confusion give way to brief, precious moments of poignancy. The bleakness and impermanence of the rest of the film makes these moments feel even more meaningful.

If this sounds like your style, the movie can be very rewarding. But it's definitely not everyone's style. I find Chungking Express is generally a more palatable Wong Kar-Wai picture for viewers with more mainstream tastes.

Better than "Saving Private Ryan"!.......2007-07-10

Just kidding! I don't understand why this film had 2 international awards. It tries hard to get the viewpoints of the Americans, Germans and Italians but only succeeded in telling the Italian version of WWII. Given the budget, I think I could make a better film.

Incredible Independent Film Accomplishment.......2007-05-28

THE FALLEN is a really impressive World War II film. What's best about it is that it presents the war from THREE opposing sides; American, German, and Italian. I haven't seen that in any other war film. It's not preachy and it lets YOU decide what you think is right.

The characters are well deliniated and you really care about them and their crises. The acting is superb on all counts. The director has managed to convey the horror of war and still keep you interested in the everyday routines that the soldiers experience.

The stories weave in and out from the Americans to the Germans to the Italians, and back, all the while making it all work together effectively.

I would highly recommend THE FALLEN to any history or war buff, and to anyone who is interested in how differently other cultures view the same situations.

Waste of Money It's BAD.......2007-04-16

I'm a WWII History buff collect Toy Soldiers, Movies & Books about WWII.
I'm an old retired military with a little combat experience I am a fair judge of books & movies.
This film rates as one of the worse I've ever viewed and there have been some bad ones made.
What more could I say. It's BAD

Very ambtious indy film.......2007-04-03

the Fallen is a film I never thought could be made, a WW 2 independent film. A small budget period war movie? Exactly, but this one had high hopes and was very ambitious without trying to be an action driven film. The problems with this film wasn't the production or the look of the film. The Idea was pretty cool, a story told from three different perspectives. One told from the Germans, one told from the American side and one told from the Italian side, and you can add another side which was the Italians that fought on the side of the Germans.

I liked the concept and how the actors spoke in their native tongue. All these things would have worked better if the characters were a bit more fleshed out. In any war film you know someone is going to get shot, blown up before it's all said and done. When you don't really care or feel connected to any of the characters than your really not going to get the full war movie experience. The story was paced slow with brief moments of action which I'm sure had to do with the small budget. With a war film you really want it hardcore, gritty, and real; this one was none of the above. Nothing real resonated in this film and you knew you were watching a film and actors the entire time.

There were some nice shots and directing, the uniforms and setting was spot on for the Italian countryside and everything looked like it came from that era. The film makers did a wonderful job in that aspect. The movie was trying to say something and give all the sides but didn't focus enough on the real meat of any of these stories for me to get emotional invested in this film. It's a nice film for a small independent feature and did well at some film festivals. Looking at this on a broader scale it just won't hold up to many, many other well made war films. I salute the director for his ambitious attempt at something different, i wish i would have like it more.

Indie feature with low budget very impressive.......2007-02-11

As with most independent features, shot with an ultra low budget, I ordered the DVD of the Fallen with lower expectations than I would have of a Hollywood war movie. However I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by the film as it was unlike most conventional war movies, which tend to tell the historical aspect of the war. What this film achieves is to bring the war down to a personal level for the audience. This is done through sensational acting from the whole cast and excellent directing from Ari Taub, who chose to tell the story in both German and Italian, shying away from the commercial idea of using only English (so that American's don't have to read the subtitles). I normally dont like war movies, but this was really interesting. Not your typical shoot em up, big explosions, good guy vs. bad guy film. This film had a lot of heart and the director has created a very refreshing and truthful film that I would recommend anybody to go and see.

A matter of expectations.......2007-07-08

If you expect academy award acting directing and scripting then this is not for you. If you just want a movie that you don't have to think about then this is for you. A little nudity or teasing would have helped but the story is fun.

Typical SciFi channel sludge.......2006-02-10

For a channel that continually gives us such tripe as "Mosquito" and "Bugs", "The Fallen Ones" is far from the worst that the SciFi channel has to offer. But as with most of their offerings, "The Fallen Ones" is devoid of a comprehensible script, Robert Wagner is horrible, and every few minutes you end up asking yourself, "What's going on here? I'm confused."
But that's Ok, because the film is marginally saved by Tom Bosley, I gotta tell ya, you can put Mr Cunningham in any kind of movie, doing any kind of role and I'm going to be entertained.
And you have to mention Caspar Van Diehm...we are living in blessed times to have this generation's John Agar meandering his way through B-movie after B-movie, he is so bad in an "Ed Wood" kind of way, that he almost makes you believe he's a credible actor.
I liked the super-sized mummy, that was good imagination, unfortunately, most of the rest of the movie was lacking.

You need to find a new way to fight........2005-12-19

The opening of The Fallen Ones is an enormous, neon-lit exclamation to the world - this film is going to be dreadful and ludicrous, but by golly, we are going to do it anyway! I was simply shocked at how nonsensical and downright insulting-to-one's-intelligence a modern made-for-TV movie could be.

The Fallen Ones resembles one of those after-the-rapture/left-behind Christian films, right down to the helpful old rabbi to read us indecipherable scripture and tell us all the details left out of the bible. Perhaps the idea is that a cherubic, Yiddish-inflected, lilting old man softens the blow of seemingly interminable exposition - it doesn't. Tom Bosley will never be anything but Howard Cunningham to those currently under 65, and possibly Father Dowling to those above 65.

I love how Casper Van Dien's character throws out acromegaly as a possible excuse for the presence of a 40'-tall giant mummy in the desert of the American Southwest, while a 7'-tall actor who has the disease is actually in the first few minutes of the film (Carel Struyken, aka. 90's Lurch). And while we're on the subject, everyone is just too comfortable with this bizarre finding. It doesn't seem to shock or awe anyone as they gather around the giant corpse and banter about "whos-dig this is" or horseback riding or dam construction delays.

We could dismiss the film as silly, childish prattle made for young kids who may be scared of giants or mummies, but the seedy background story of horny angels impregnating human women and producing giant, demonic offspring is probably not suitable for younger viewers. You've been warned.

Well, they could build a giant robot-mummy and march around chanting incoherently. Or they could make this movie. Really, this is an awful movie. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE cheesy, crappy movies, but I can't even give this movie _Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter_ props. They obviously had a decent budget based on the CGI and location shooting, but it looks like about 15 bucks went to the writer. Don't get it. Really. No, REALLY!
