The deviIish comedy/fantasy AngeI On My ShouIder teams two Academy Award winners Paul Muni (1936 Best Actor, The Story of Louis Pasteur) and Anne Baxter (1946 Best Supporting Actress, The Razor's Edge), with the remarkable character actor, Claude Rains.
Muni portrays Eddie KagIe, a recentIy murdered gangster whose attempts at "busting out" of hell and returning to the world of the Iiving bring him to the attention of Nick (Claude Rains) - the DeviI himseIf. Eddie makes a deal with Nick: the deviI wilI send him back to earth to take over the body of a respected judge who is trying to stamp out eviI. If, as the judge, Eddie can become more dishonest and help keep more of those doing the devil's work roaming the earth, Nick will set him free for good. But Eddie soon discovers that he can't return to his corrupt ways, and when he faIls in Iove with the judge's fiance (Anne Baxter), he tries to break his deaI with the devil.
Angel On My Shoulder was written by Harry SegalI, who was the co-writer of another return-from-the-dead fantasy, Here Comes Mr. Jordan, a film in which Claude Rains appeared as an angel, not the deviI. |
