Johnny Angel

Who was the cold-blooded villain who hijacked $5 million in gold from the freighter Quincy, killed the captain and all the crew, then escaped in a small boat? That's the mystery Johnny Angel (George Raft) intends to solve—for that ship's captain was his father! Angel's only lead is Paulette (Signe Hasso), a French refugee who was aboard the ship, hidden beneath a batch cover at the time of the appalling crime. Paulette claims to have seen the entire ghastly crime—except for the murderer's face. With only this much to go on, Angel systematically hunts down the killer and must ultimately confront him, face-to-face. Forceful performances and a taut, spellbinding mystery make Johnny Angel a thrilling adventure.
