Angels are busy spirits, and for novice Diane Cilento, her first earthly assignment requires her to aide pawnshop owner Felix Aylmer and his clerk, Philip Guard. Unfortunately, her angelic presence creates tension between Guard and his girlfriend Sheila Sweet but gives Guard the confidence to get rid of the nasty old harpy Phyllis Morris whose constant badgering has created nothing but turmoil for his mother, Genitha Halsey, a woman constantly on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Aylmer is inspired by Cilento in his passion for all kinds of music boxes, and this gives the viewer a couple of amazing visuals concerning his creations.
Seen throughout in the long flowing white gown of an angel, Cilento is stunning, and it is obvious that every time people see her (with the exception of the devilish Thomas), they are transfixed by her sweetness. It's not the strongest of plotlines, but it's not easy to be transfixed by the simplicity and of course the holiday like music that was quite cheerful.
Thomas chatters like an evil old bird, one of the most stunning villains, reminding me of Eily Malyon in "On Borrowed Time" with a dash of Madeleine Sherwood from "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" thrown in. The visual of the eyeglass like music box is another highlight as is the giant music box house that has to be seen to be appreciated.
