Johnny Angel

Johnny Angel is a 1945 film noir directed by Edwin L. Marin and written by Frank Gruber and Steve Fisher from the novel Mr. Angel Comes Aboard by Charles Gordon Booth. The movie stars George Raft, Claire Trevor and Signe Hasso, and features Hoagy Carmichael.

Although RKO had low expectations for the film it was an unexpected hit, earning the studio a profit of 1,192,000. Raft went on to make three more thrillers for RKO.The staff at Variety magazine gave the film a lukewarm review, and wrote, Johnny Angel is another in the seemingly neverending series of maritime intrigues involving murder and lust. It is slow and plodding, with poor story development...Raft is his invariably glowering self as a guy who really handles his mitts and the dames while Claire Trevor and Signe Hasso are the romantic interests. Rest of the cast is weighted down too much by the story... ........
