If you loved Cara de ángel, try El hombre del brazo de oro
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Otto Preminger, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Cara de ángel, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What El hombre del brazo de oro is
You're a drummer newly released from prison, trying to stay clean. You want an honest life, but your old crowd resurfaces. Then temptation claws its way back. Preminger's camera doesn't flinch. The film lingers on neon shadows and a jazz score that throbs like a fever.
