Trügerisches Glück

Doesn't anyone realize all these films are a remake of an old 1950 Barbara Stanwyck movie called "No Man of Her Own".

Pregnant Stanwyck is on a train running away from her low life boyfriend back in New York and is befriended by a young married couple also expecting a baby. They are both just out of the service on their way to meet her in-laws for the first time. On a visit to the ladies room Barb is given a chance to try on the fancy engagement ring when the train wreck happens.

In "She's No Angel" when the runaway was offered a chance to try on the ring I could see that the young newlyweds were doomed. Sure enough, within seconds they are dead. This movie is still running and I'm sure it will have some differences that will manifest themselves but if you have a chance, check out "No Man of Her Own", 1950, it's a very good movie in the film noir style.

I was on holiday at a Travel Inn, and flicking through the channels when i saw the title of She's no angel come up on the screen.

I wasn't going to sleep any time soon, decided what the hell, and watched it.

It was a really good film and and great acting from everyone.

I would and do recommend it to anyone who likes drama films.

I've never heard of Tracey before, but liked what i saw. There are some...not scary scenes as such, but a little iffy to the faint hearted.

A very good film all round!!!

A woman is raped and her employer refuses to pay her owed wages. She runs away and ends up in a road accident. People assume she's someone else who died, and is not able to admit anything until its too late. I found this film uncomfortable to watch as you know the main character is living a lie and you keep wanting her to be honest.

This is the best non-TV movie I've seen Tracey Gold in in at least two years. Two enthusiastic thumbs way up! Tracey Gold is definitely "No Angel" in this steamy thriller featuring a mind-boggling cast of future megastars. Watch out for Ogy Durham at the 2004 Oscars! She'll be working with Sly in no time.

In 1982, A novel written by American Author William Irish, under the title of "I married a dead man", gave rise in France to a Film called "J'ai épousé une ombre" starring Nathalie Baye, Richard Bohringer, and Francis Huster. A pregnant woman fleeing a violent boyfriend, boards a train and is taken into care by a newlywed couple returning to the Bordeaux region (the husband has yet to present his new wife to his parents who are rich wine-growers). The train crashes, the couple are killed and the girl is taken for the dead newlywed wife because she was wearing her ring at the time the crash happened ! The story "She's no Angel is identical to this, except that it is a car crash, and not a train crash but every other aspect identical, even down to the fact that the welcoming family are winegrowers ! So there has to have been some copying somewhere. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed both "J'ai épousé une ombre" and "she's no angel" though I suppose the credit must first of all go to William Irish as 'tis he who wrote the original novel Quite entertaining !
