The tarnished angels (1957) - little known drama directed by Douglas Sirk, starring Rock Hudson, Robert Stack, Dorothy Malone and Jack Carson

Rating 7.1/10
Runtime: 91 min
Language: English
Country: USA
Directed by: Douglas Sirk
IMDb Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051055/

Cast

Rock Hudson ... Burke Devlin
Robert Stack ... Roger Shumann
Dorothy Malone ... LaVerne Shumann
Jack Carson ... Jiggs
Robert Middleton ... Matt Ord
Alan Reed ... Colonel Fineman
Alexander Lockwood ... Sam Hagood
Christopher Olsen ... Jack Shumann
Robert J. Wilke ... Hank

Description: 1932. The Flying Schumanns entourage - decorated Great War fighter pilot Roger Schumann, his daredevil parachutist wife LaVerne Schumman, mechanic Jiggs, and the Schumanns' now nine year old son Jack Schumann - travel the air show circuit, largely living off prize money won in air races. At their latest stop at the Delta Field Air Show in New Orleans, they are befriended by New Orleans Picayune reporter Burke Devlin, who, due to their tight finances, offers them accommodations in his small one bedroom apartment with him. Burke, covering the air show, wants to do a story on the nomadic lives of the pilots and their entourages traveling the air circuit, especially when he learns of the complex relationship between Roger, LaVerne and Jiggs, which is not always harmonious due to a long held issue, and despite LaVerne and Jack idolizing imperfect Roger. Burke, in getting involved personally with the Schumanns, adds an extra level of complexity to their already troubled family life, which is made even more complex with the involvement of businessman Matt Ord into their livelihood. What happens within this collective makes Burke further examine his work as a reporter, which he sees as not just stating the facts.

Dual audio track information


This movie contains two audio tracks, one is original English, and the other is additional audio commentary by film historians James Ursini and Alain Silver. You can use VLC Player to easily choose between any of audio tracks or you can use VirtualDub to get rid of any of audio tracks by following these steps:


1. Download Virtualdub from that WWW address:

http://www.virtualdub.org/download.html

2. Download your version, unzip the files, start the program by running VirtualDub.exe

3. From “File” tab choose “Open video file” and find your dual audio file on your HDD (or you can simply drag and drop movie file into program window)

4. If any warning window pops up, just click on “OK”

5. From “Video” tab choose “Direct stream copy” option (very important, do not miss that step)

6. From “Audio” tab choose which audio stream you want to use, usually English is Stream 1, and commentary is on Stream 2, but to be 100 % sure use preview option that VD provides by clicking on “Play” button on the bottom of program window when video file is loaded. Of course you can get rid of original audio and save the file with commentary that way too, just by choosing other stream.

7. From “File” tab choose “Save AVI file”, put movie name and choose destination folder and then click on OK. Program will start its job after no more than 2 minutes your only one audio track movie should be ready.
