Thomas Mitchell

Only Angels Have Wings … is one of Howard Hawks’ finest films, arguably his quintessential work.

For a film by a master who was perhaps not at his best—having already established high expectations—this is a solidly entertaining motion picture.

The Dark Mirror is the sort of film that, if remade today, would certainly have a vastly different vibe to it. The premise is one screenwriters and directors have mined many an occasion since this 1946 romantic thriller. From action films (Double Impact), to grisly psychological dramas (Dead Ringers), the premise of the dichotomous twin sibling syndrome is definitely familiar to many seasoned movie watchers.
