For this RKO 1945 episode, two beautifully filmed noirs (by Harry J. Wild), Edwin L. Marin's\xa0Johnny Angel, another noir with a femme fatale (Claire Trevor) who loves too much (and gets a very unexpected - and gory - redemption),\xa0and Edward Dmytryk's\xa0Cornered, in which\xa0Dick Powell learns why you shouldn't hunt down Nazis and kill them with your bare hands, but doesn't seem very interested. And in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto, we discuss the 1982 documentary I\xa0Heard It Through the Grapevine, in which James Baldwin talks to the people who were there about the failures of the civil rights movement and what they say about America.\xa0
