(1935) The Dark Angel
DRAMA/ ROMANCE
Adapted from the play by Guy Bolton with the story centering on three people, Alan Trent (Fredric March), Gerald Shannon (Herbert Marshall) life long friends both in love with the same girl, Kitty Vane (Merle Oberon) until both men were sent to war! Somewhat of what used to happen during WWI and II in which if he were to come back seriously injured that is lifelong, that she would not want to be with him anymore. Used to be an expected reason for a girl not wanting to be with him anymore but the times have definitely changed! But because of the mature cast with great acting especially 2 time Oscar winner Fredric March makes this film a convincing winner to all the romantics- more of a drama than a romance now that I think of it.
