Whatever you do, stick with the VCI Entertainment print of "Angel On My Shoulder"! Scenes that were dark on other public domain releases of this film, so dark in fact that it made it almost impossible to make out any details in action, are now clear as a bell and viewable on this VCI disc. I am totally sold VCI's DVD releases after seeing this one!
Great product!!!

Paul Muni and Claude Rains, two of the most accomplished film actors of the thirties and forties, here take a routine vehicle and make it an experience worth having. The script and supporting cast are from the production factory but these two make it seem better than it is. They are the film and worth the price of admission. Anne Baxter, while not yet in their league, shows some of the qualities which made her a star in just a few more years. Watching them. one is reminded of the fact that acting styles change as do audience expectations. As one enjoys (or does not enjoy) these performances, one realizes that comparing them with current actors is not a question of asking who is better but rather of realizing that they are different, different in training, different in style, different in the eyes of their audiences. The member of a film audience who can accept both approaches is opening him-or-herself to much gratification.

This classic 1946 film, starring Paul Muni and Claude Raines is the very best of all the supernatural fantasies. With just the right mixture of comedy and tragedy, and driven by the masterful acting performances of the two principal players and a very fine screenplay, it is a story of ruthlessness, compassion and redemption. Highly recommended.

Nick (Claude Rains) never satisfied with the amount of soles caught, has his hat set for an incorruptible judge. He will recruit Eddie Kagle to replace Judge Fredrick Parker (both played by Paul Muni) in exchange for a second chance at life.
If you were, raised Catholic then you will recognize the title as you have a devil on one shoulder and an angle on the other and you are struggling in the middle.
There is great interaction between Paul Muni and Claude Rains. This move takes unexpected twists and turns. I may remind you a little of "The Devil and Daniel Webster "(1941). However, no one can play "Nick" as well as Claude Rains.
I rather like the way they return to the surface. I never trusted those types of elevators. Before you write off Anne Baxter as just another personality in this film, remember that she was also Nefretiri in "The Ten Commandments" (1956)
