Early in the film Angel Face (1952), Robert Mitchum slaps Jean Simmons in the face:
When [autocratic director Otto] Preminger called for retake after retake, Mitchum, worried about his costar’s face, finally hit the director across the face and then asked him if he would like another slap.
- Mayer and Mc Donnell, Encyclopedia of Film Noir (2007)

Finally, I can let the truth be told…I really don’t like director Otto Preminger’s film “Angel Face.”
I found it to be a very slow moving and a very boring film! (Remember this is my personal opinion and not a “slap in the face” to fans of director Otto Preminger’s classic film “Angel Face” that is considered a noir.) dcd ps Btw, I have never watched this film (“Angel Face”) in its’ entirety!
