The universally used "exact" formula for fission-fragment angular distributions is shown to be valid only under restrictive assumptions. The more general expression, which depends crucially on the final fragment spin distributions, predicts dramatically more anisotropic angular distributions for fission from nuclei at high spin. Recent "anomalous" results are analyzed.
