About The Hot Angel
A veteran Korean War pilot takes a job with a small air service business, but he also finds himself targeted by the local bullying motorcycle gang. Director Joe Parker's odd hybrid of 50's teen exploitation and the airplane-in-distress thriller has a climax that takes place at the Grand Canyon.
Directed by Joe Parker, The Hot Angel leans on a strong ensemble — Ed Kemmer, Mason Alan Dinehart, Emory Parnell — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1958.
