If you loved Angel Face, try The Man with the Golden Arm
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
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 Angel Face, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Man with the Golden Arm 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.
