Quick Summary

The film Angel Face, directed by Otto Preminger, was released in 1953. It stars Jean Simmons as a murderous psychotic and Robert Mitchum as a chauffeur she pursues. The film is a thriller that explores dark psychological themes.1

Preminger was known for his controversial films that challenged Hollywood's Production Code, often featuring morally ambiguous characters and situations. While Angel Face is noted as an underrated thriller from this period, it is not as widely discussed as some of his other works that pushed the boundaries of censorship, such as The Moon Is Blue or The Man with the Golden Arm.1
