The Angel Who Pawned Her Harp (1953)
Director: Alan Bromly
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A whimsical fantasy from Group 3, the low-budget production offshoot of the British Film Production Fund which operated under John Grierson and John Baxter to provide 'quality' second feature material and act as a training ground for emergent film-makers. Cilento is the heavenly visitor to Islington, dispensing good deeds from a pawnshop base, amidst an already nostalgic evocation of Cockney community life.Author: PT
