Movie Info

No relation to the later Shelley Fabares song hit of the same name, RKO Radio's Johnny Angel was adapted by Steve Fisher and Frank Gruber from a short story by Charles Gordon Booth. In one of his better performances, George Raft plays sea captain Johnny Angel, who doggedly pursues the no-good rats who murdered his father and swiped a shipment of gold bullion. Along the way, Johnny crosses paths (and words) with Lilah (Claire Trevor), the faithless wife of his boss, and French stowaway Paulette

Critic Reviews for Johnny Angel

It's a twisty plotted film noir involving smugglers and a double-cross that is set on the dimly lit docks and in the swinging French Quarters of New Orleans.

Solid little film, short and to the point with a great pace. One of George Raft?s best performances. Claire Trevor, as usual, is great. Hoagy Carmichael does well in a supporting role. Good cinematography and score. Effective lighting. It always held my interest.
