The Late Film: The Angel Levine

BBC One
on BBC One London

starring
Zero Mostel, Harry Belafonte
Taylor Morris Mishkin is in despair. His wife is ill, his daughter has left home, he has backache and no work: his God has forsaken him. Then he finds a black man in his kitchen. Shock turns to astonishment and then sceptiscism when the black man announces that he is a Jew named Levine and also an angel. Mishkin is convinced that the man is a maniac, but then his wife begins to recover.... Czech director Jan Kadar whose Shop in the High Street won an academy award, based this film on a story by Bernard Malamud.
Written by WILLIAM GUNN and RON RIBMAN from a story by BERNARD MALAMUD Produced by CHIZ ZCHULTZ
