From 75 years ago, Claire Trevor stars in Cornell Woolrich's "Angel Face" as the good-hearted stripper who tries to save her briother from a murder conviction.
Woolrich's original story, first published in Black Mask, October 1937, under the title "Face Work," was one of weo stories used as the basis of his 1943 novel The Black Angel (the other story was "Murder in Wax," published two years earlier in Dime Detective). "Angel Faace " was also the basis of the 1938 movie Convisted, starring a young Rita Hayworth.
Enjoy this tale, calculated to keep you in Suspense.

Did you listen to SUSPENSE up till CBS dumped it and JOHNNY DOLLAR, in '62 Jerry?
ReplyDeleteNo, but in later years I would listen to Ed Walker's THE BIG BROADCAST on WAMU.
DeleteI still will catch it on the web some times, since I'm not in WAMU territory any longer, either...Ed Walker, alas, is no longer with us. Hope things aren't going too badly for you, either, Jerry...this is a longish gap for your posting...
DeleteI'm a big Cornell Woolrich fan so I'll check this out! Thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteWhile Patti and Todd were worried you might be in an ICU, I figured you might be having computer problems. Glad I was right! You were missed on the various blogs you frequent!
ReplyDeleteYou are always right, George. That's why Diane loves you.
DeleteIt too often has gone the worse way with me in the last decade+...
