Angel (1937)

Second viewing; first was on February 22, 1989.

The wife of a League of Nations delegate meets a man in Paris and has a one-day romance with him. Back in London, she meets him again, now in the company of her husband.

A moderately charming picture, a bit moralistic in the end but with well-written dialogue, a coherent plot, and some funny bits too. The performances are all decent. Can't quite explain my previous antipathy for it, unless it was the moralistic aspect that put me off.

Rating: 52 (up from 33)
