Noir Double Bill


Robert Mitchum is a modest medical professional with a perfectly decent, true-blue girlfriend.  He should be satisfied, but one whiff of expensive perfume and he throws in with an about-to-be heiress whose screws have come loose.  Twice! -- in two movies I watched a few weeks apart:


Above left, Jean Simmons in Angel Face, 1952.  Above right, Faith Domergue in Where Danger Lives, 1950 (on a DVD with the also worthy Tension).

One movie has a "happy ending."  Find out which one!
