L'Ange blanc (1931)
Ce film noir est construit autour du personnage de Barbara Stanwyck. Elle postule pour un emploi de nurse dans un hôpital puis obtient son diplôme d'infirmière. En travaillant chez un particulier, elle découvre une sordide machination : deux enfants sont victimes d'un chauffeur (Clark Gable) qui utilise leur mère alcoolique, sous son emprise. Il veut les tuer progressivement afin de profiter de l'argent de leur mère. Barbara Stanwyck parvient à déjouer ses plans à l'aide d'un petit truand qui se prend d'affection pour elle et se décide à l'aider. Les premières images du film sont assez saisissantes car nous sommes à bord d'une ambulance qui traverse la ville à toute vitesse pour arriver aux urgences de l'hôpital.
