SCFZ poll: Otto Preminger

i want to watch advise & consent but i fear it may all seem rather quaint now...

Considering Fallen Angel's reputation, I was a little surprised it didn't get any love here, that is until I watched it. It has some nice dialogue, performances, and visuals, but never quite knows what to do in terms of narrative and character development and comes off as uneven and rushed. Shame, because the opening 20 minutes or so had me quite excited.

You (all) need to watch ANGEL FACE instead!!!

quite a few of preminger's efforts got no support at all, but the most seen among them (so maybe the most surprising) were the moon is blue and exodus
