Terrific performances from the two leads - especially Béatrice Dalle. Should carry a health warning, 'Not to be seen by pregnant women'!

Angel (1984)

Fifteen year old Molly Stewart is a hard working, straight-A student at a Los Angeles prep school. She's also a prostitute, working nights on Hollywood Boulevard as 'Angel'. Due to her youth 'Angel' is popular and makes good money. She has a small group of friends; aging film cowboy 'Kit Carson' (played by real life aging film cowboy Rory Calhoun) who makes a living by selling autographs and tall tales on the Boulevard, drag performer 'Mae' (the always entertaining Dick Shawn), fellow prostitutes 'Crystal' and 'Linda' who both appear to be just a few years older than 'Angel', and 'Solly', her cigar-smoking lesbian landlady.

However, a serial killer has begun preying on LA's hookers. Despite warnings to stay off the streets from LAPD Lieutenant Andrews (Cliff Gorman - an actor I always liked but whose name I could never remember), 'Angel', 'Crystal', and 'Linda' keep working. Personal tragedy soon strikes as those close to 'Angel' start falling victim to the killer, and she's forced to face some uncomfortable truths and the realisation that she's on the killer's hit list.

The film was a surprise hit at the box office (taking around $19 million on a budget of around $2 million). Donna Wilkes (23 at the time but looking believably younger) does very well as Molly/'Angel'. Rory Calhoun is engaging, Dick Shawn is very funny (with some terrific 'catty' one-liners), and Cliff Gorman is solid and believable (the guy played a lot of cops over the years). John Diehl does a good job too as the character known simply as 'the killer'.

It's gritty, highlighting an even seedier aspect - underage hookers - of an already seedy profession (we find out Molly/'Angel' has actually been working the street since she was just 12). There's a fair bit of full frontal nudity - interestingly, not from the hookers, but from the girls at school - but those scenes feel weirdly out of place, as though you've suddenly switched to watching something like Slumber Party Massacre. I can imagine the studio execs after watching an early cut of this movie in the viewing room;

Exec 1: You know what this needs...
Exec 2: No, what?
Exec 1: Some naked cheerleaders
Exec 2: Brilliant!

But all in all it's a pretty good, well-made, well-acted thriller. 7/10
