Angel on My Shoulder is a 1946 American fantasy film. It was an independent production and directed by Archie Mayo. Written by Roland Kibbee and Harry Segall, the film was one of the last films directed by Mayo before his retirement. You can read more about the movie and its cast below. Here are some fun facts about the film:

Paul Muni in Angel on My Shoulder

The plot of the movie revolves around the death of a gangster, Eddie Kagle. Smiley Williams, his childhood friend and business partner, murdered Eddie and sent him to hell. After the death, Eddie meets Nick in hell and agrees to take over the body of a judge, Frederick Parker. Parker is frustrated with Eddie and wants revenge on Smiley. The movie is a fun watch.

Rains plays a passive aggressive demon of darkness. Though he has the ability to manipulate weak human beings, he is no match for the angel on Muni’s shoulder. The angel on Muni’s shoulder is the voice of good, and the film’s title comes from a sermon. When he falls in love with Barbara Foster, he begins to question the worldview of Judge. Rains and Muni walk off together tied by an agreement, but it is never clear which will win.

As Eddie, Muni’s character becomes more mature and compassionate. In a spoof on a Warner Brothers film, Muni borrows the societal agenda to explore the early influences in Eddie’s life. But in the end, he cannot get out of Lucifer’s deadly deal. In an effort to avoid this fate, he must face his past and face the consequences of his actions.

The movie is quite similar to the classic Here Comes Mr. Jordan, but not as unique or beloved as its predecessor. It’s a decent fantasy drama with some good acting. Paul Muni plays a gangster who is cursed with the possession of the angel. He also gets to play an underworld judge and his girlfriend, Anne Baxter. This is a great movie for older audiences. While some scenes may be a bit frightening, the humor is well worth watching.

Anne Baxter in Angel on My Shoulder

Claude Rains and Anne Baxter are wonderful together, and their performances make “Angel on My Shoulder” an enjoyable watch. This movie is recommended for older adults. Its humor and touching moments will charm audiences of all ages.

While it’s possible to argue that Paul Muni’s performance is over-the-top, his performance in this film is controlled and unaffected. He plays Eddie with an air of devilishness that belies his genuine emotional turmoil. He is, in essence, a gangster with a gruff, yet loving heart. Claude Rains’ performance is a cajoling, sinister character. Anne Baxter’s performance is sympathetic and well-made.

Muni is a hoodlum, and Rains sees this and hires him to manipulate Muni. In fact, Rains is a master of manipulating weak human beings, and his shrewd tactics work. But the angel on Muni’s shoulder is much stronger. Rains’ actions are a reflection of his own self-worth, as she falls for the fiancee of the judge.

Archie Mayo’s dark comedy is also well-done, with a talented cast. Eddie Kagle is a wise-guy who is murdered. He becomes a pawn in the devil’s game, believing that his soul will be transferred to the judge’s body. While he’s in the body of a judge, Eddie does good for the judge, improving his reputation in the process. As a result, Eddie falls in love with the judge’s fiancee.
