A story of misunderstanding among friends with tragedy resulting and an uplifting of the human spirit. This marks the 1935 film "The Dark Angel."
Fred March, Merle Oberon and Herbert Marshall are childhood friends in England. When they grow up, World War 1 has begun and March and Marshall serve in the British army. March and Oberon are lovers. Marshall is foolishly led to believe that March is with another woman right before battle. Angry, he sends March out in a mission and the latter is killed. When he discovers the truth, he is guilt ridden as is Oberon for she was the woman who was with March that night. Had she not insisted that she be with him, Allen (March) would still be alive.
Time tries to heal wounds. 3 years passes and Marshall and Oberon have forgiven themselves and plan to wed.
The chance meeting with a blinded March is memorable. The latter tries to shield his blindness but the truth again merges in a beautiful ending. March, who couldn't bring himself to go to his friends as a blind man, finds compassion once again in the arms of Miss Oberon.
Beautifully done.
