Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Anna Zador is a secretary who's been working for 6 years at Count Willie Palaffi's bank. Every day, she rides to work on her bike and places flowers on Willie's desk, but Willie (the Budapest playboy) doesn't know that she exists. "Whiskers", noticing Anna to be a sweet and beautiful woman, believes she would be the perfect wife for Willie. He insists that Marika (Willie's personal secretary) invite Anna to Willie's costume birthday party - she does so reluctantly for she wants to marry Willie. Marika, knowing Anna is low on cash, offers to help her get a costume. At the party, everyone is dressed elegantly, while Anna is in a simple Angel's outfit. Willie, feeling sorry for her, asks her to dance, but when he sees the guests laughing at them, he makes an excuse and goes upstairs. Upstairs, Willie falls asleep and dreams that an Angel named Brigitta comes to earth to marry him. On their wedding night, Brigitta loses her wings to Willie's delight. He is less delighted when her truthfulness gets him into trouble with the socialites. Willie leaves Brigitta in a rage. Brigitta decides to change, even if it means losing her soul. Willie realizes his mistakes, but it is too late. Written by Kelly |

| Trivia | Originally planned as a vehicle for Jeanette MacDonald 10 years earlier, but the somewhat racy content put the musical on hold at MGM, until it was a hit on Broadway in 1938. See more » |
| Goofs | When the count (Nelson Eddy) removes the feathers from his wife's new hat, the feathers are a different type and colour, and attached differently, from the feathers on the hat shown to his wife (Jeanette MacDonald) seconds before. See more » |
