Answer: True

They danced, then kissed and then they fell into bed together.
When the police found her, the room was saturated with blood and they found a gun. We also found out at the end of the film, that Epiphany and Harry were actually related.

10. What did it turn out that the relationship of Harry and Epiphany was?

Answer: father and daughter

The story unfolded when Louis Cyphre (Lucifer) divulged that Johnny Favorite was actually Harry Angel. Johnny had promised the devil his soul in return for being a famous singer. Considering his amnesia during the war, he obviously reneged on the deal. Old Nick had been playing with Harry up to this point. All the killings were in fact committed by Harry (with the help of his evilness of course) and he wanted payment now.

When Harry looked over at Louis, Louis' eyes glowed red. Then Harry looked in the mirror and he realised the truth.

As the devil himself said "We can pretend to lie to ourselves and bury our heads in the sand, but in the end we know and it isn't the knowledge that hurts but all the hiding and lying that went on before" Harry then took a ride down in the lift, obviously to hell and it really made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Wow, what a scary film and so before its time.
