    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Writer and director Alan Parker claims that Robert De Niro's performance as Louis Cyphre was so eerie and realistic that he generally avoided him during his scenes, letting him just direct himself.
    • Goofs
      In New Orleans, there is a daybill ad for a drive-in movie theater posted on a mailbox, which advertises a showing of Jättiläisen varjo (1966), released 11 years after the setting. The poster also features the Elvis film "Double Trouble" and the Waylon Jennings film "Nashville Rebel", both from the late 60s.
    • Quotes

      Louis Cyphre: Alas... how terrible is wisdom when it brings no profit to the wise, Johnny?

    • Crazy credits
      After the end credits roll, you hear the whisper on a black screen, "Harry? Johnny?"
    • Alternate versions
      A scene featuring Mickey Rourke and Lisa Bonet having sex was slightly cut by around 10 secs before release in order to avoid a X rating. The European theatrical version and US video version restore the missing footage.

    Rourke's finest role in an atmospheric classic
    P.I Harry Angel has a new case, to find a man called Johnny Favourite, only it isn't a straight forward missing person's case. Prefect, grounded, Alan's Parker's voodoo-laden, hard-boiled film is the ultimate mystery film.

    This is without a doubt Mickey Rourke's finest role. The supporting cast deliver some of the most interesting and story driven performances which include Robert De Niro, Lisa Bonet and Charlotte Rampling to name a few.

    You can feel 1955's New Orleans warm rain, hear the jazz, taste the grit of 1950's Brooklyn, Michael Seresin's cinematography is amazing. The films realism captures the time wholly, Trevor Jones mystery music builds up the tension as murders increase and Harry Angel is drawn into eventful dangerous meetings. The dialogue is flawless and the ending has a mind-blowing twist that has been imitated but never surpassed. The Johnny Favourite theme tune will linger with you long after the end credits.

    A timeless, eerie and realistic atmospheric classic. Perfect.
