High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Fallen Angel is a 1945 black-and-white film noir directed by Otto Preminger, with cinematography by Joseph LaShelle, who also worked with Preminger on the film Laura a year before. The film features Alice Faye, Dana Andrews, Linda Darnell, Charles Bickford, among others. The film is famous for being the last film Faye made as a major Hollywood superstar. Disappointed at how studio boss Darryl F. Zanuck cut her role out of the picture, Faye left the studio the day after a preview screening, and did not make another film until State Fair (1962).
