angel on my shoulder
this is my review on anmgel on my shoulder from 1946
its directed by Archie Mayo who did The Petrified Forest and nothing else i sawed
it stars claude rai8ns, p[aul mini Anne Baxter, and a buncha 1800s dudes
i saw this b4 and its pretty good
its in great b/w and proper fullsdcreen
so after creditts tyo good Dimitri Tiomkin music we get a quote aboiut livinbg
then mini gets ouytta jail and his homie drives him while talking aboyrt a guy wjho"crashed out" (which i dont know what it means)
so muni minis gonna return to his crime life and his homie is smily like nico smily from candy a55 yugioh arc v
then smily emptries a gun inmto muni and minu is in h-ll
so hes in danntes inferno and its kinda freeky and theres guys witn a T for trustee
3 minutes in and the main guy is dead
its dbz all over again
pmuni don't get that hes dead and there's other sinners there who try to get him to see
hes kinda slow and dont get it and wants to get smily but is carriied off big big muscley guys
meanwhile, ryo asuka i mean clauide rains is malcontentthat theres less people coming in and they can't keep the heat up
but what about in Dante's Inferno how the bottom layer is ice?
czuld wants to ruin judge parkrt to thwart God's plans and claude i mean muni escapes and busts inot claudes room
the muscle guys carrys him off to the 55th circle of darkness and claude is glad as muini looks just like jusfe parker who he wants to ruin
mini wants to escape aind is shoveling coalin the file like a dlave amnd claude offersd to make a pact with him to get out if muni works for him
muni agrees and tey walk through the fires and to an elevator
claude drops hintrs and throws low balls and they go over miunis head as he only went to 3rd grade
muni had nothing and wanted to make something of his life and they go to thje surface and noo one can se or hear them unbtil he has a body
parker is munis exact double oike in the flintstones or simpsons and muni thinks as he has no finger he has no finger prints
but clauide says hes got no fingers to pull the trigger
so muni agrees to work for claude(who is brittish liek all bad guys) b4 getting revenge on smily
they go to the courtroom and the judge blacks out muni sezx hes the boss and claude goes along with it to get him to go by easier
so they go to the judges room and parker looks just like muni
caulde sez parker wont remember anything and uses powers to fuse muni into parker
so parkers future wife worries about parker and sez the elecvtions only a few days away
she taks with a guy about parker needing a shrink and goes home
the next day patrkers butler wakes him up and muni isamazed hes alive
muni acts like muni and it confuses his butler who calls gf
muni wants a plane and money to get to saint lewis toi meet judy garland i mean ice smily
muni cracks the safe using his ninja skills and goes out to buyt a fireaRM
HE TAKES A PLANE WITH A LOAded gun as the 40s were more free and claude shows up and makes egine trouble to bring him back to ruin parkers rep
gf shows up and talks to butler about parker being weird and she calls shink who sez "just go with his changes and be p[atient"
mini shows up and comments on gf beiing sexy and wants to b0ne her asnd claUDE IS THERE BUUT ONLY MUNI CAN SEE HIM
HE ACTS OUT OF CHARACTER LIKE A BAD FANFIC and has to give a speech
man we're like 40 mins in with adds
elsewhere parkerrs rivals use parkers black out as a wway to beat him in the election and send guys to the speech to f with him
so at the speech tthis kid gives him a watch as he did so much good and its kinda hearetwarming
a guy sez how parkers organization has reduced kid crime and helped a lotta people, esp kids
clauide tells muni to hate the people there as its their kind who sent him to jail aND TO TELL EM OFF AS AWFUL AS HE CAN
muni goes up aND the rival xvandidates men shjowe upo mandf threw cr-p at him b4 he can tell em the sh-t talk
so muni goes down and kicks their a55es as claude sez to take the hits as the rival guys are his friends
he dont care as its him getting beat on and it makes parker look like a bada55
nowadays parker would be seen as the bad guy for fighting back
so the kids are nice to him annd he goes home and gf sez to not be so rough
he wants burbon and cigars and gf and butler sez he dont smoke nor drink
he sends butler out and chuggs booze but camn't handle it as its not his body
same with cigars and she wants to go home but he thinks they live in sin
he blax out and the next ddayt, muni and clauise take a cab and oh gfs there too
so they are gonna have a court thing and muni talks of smily and gf dont get it
the cab driver outs muni talking of smmily and his crime ring ti the rivals and the rival candidate wants to use this
caulde wants muni to work with this crook to ruin parkers rep
he is guided by claude tto know legal things like pascow in pet semetary and lawyer pays parker for aa ruling
tthey bring in the defendants and muni recognizes the girl as his ex gf who was cheeting on him
he tells em hes gonna throw da book at em and as a guy comes in, muni throws the money at em and sez he wouldnt take a million
clause is p-ssed ast muni inaADVERTENTLY F ING THE PARKER PLAN AGAIN
SO parkerr pretty much has the electtion and gf worrys about him and she talks to shrink about it
so laater the rival canditdates guys go to see smily (and claude rrains is called Nick so Nicko Smily) and claude sez them ideas about sending smily to the judges place
meanwhilegf shows muni the home they aRE BUILDINHG and plans a happy future
he's moved by her wanting to have a family with him and how had he not been a thug, he could have had this good life
for once in his life(kinda ) he tasted goodnessand he loved it
but he don't feel right as he made a deal with dark ruler and claude comes out berhind a tree
you know, he was the invisible man and now hes invisible to all but muni
so claude sez smily is in town and is gonna use the money he iced muni for to start satuiff here
claude sez muni cant change and a hal;o wouldnt suit him (just like real life) and sesz he's yeellow if he dont ice smily
also if claue dont ice smily,m them smily will ice paarker and ruin gfs future
he is turned to buy it and iss gonna do evil to do good
he tells gf a scenario that if theres a poison rat comming for his kids, would he waCK IT?
she sez yes and he takes her car and shje realizes it
as muni drtives with claude, the cops pull him over and claude tellsa him to say hes in his fuiture wifes car and is going to give a speech
when he tells the cops hisa future wifes mname they say she called in the car stolen and bring him in
at the station claude tries to turn muni agianst gf and he dont buy it
gf coimes by and sez she donty know him and he trys to explain his situatyion to her withougn saying it
he sez hes channging for good and needs her to trust him and she asks him to make a deal that she;'d help him if he marrys her
so is this bigamy? 2 souls 1 wife?
so tney go to church and claude rians dont like it and the priest aks whhy they wanna get married
the priest has a wife?! thats not canon!
so priest recitres bible verses and muni knows aboutt the fires
when talking about the evil one, muni recognixzzes one of the names and priest says to listen to the angel on your shoulder
claude rains has no power over a good man and muni goes out to talk to claude
after like 80 minutres with adds, muni finally puts 2 and 2 togteher and sees that as he's done nothing wront since being brougt back, claude can;'rt touch him
claude sez to get married and he goes to do it but at the ceremony he realizes that he can't do it as its wrong as claude wants it
gf can't take it and he explains in a weird way she wantgs fred parker(better than ben paker, he got iced)
she gets it and drives him home and at home he sees claude and smily on the couch sleeping
claude sez the gun he used to ice him is on him and to wack smily
muni takes the gun and recalls the Priests words and puts it back
muni nevcer iced a sleeping hguy and claude wakes him up
muni makes a drink and smily walkes up and smily sez he wanted to work with parker in his crime work
muni askes about mni and smily sezx munis dead and muni sez he knows about the wacking
muni shows his face and smily freaks outr seeing his face
muni bada55ly implies hes muni and smily backs up and smily drops the gun athis words
smily freaks out and backs up and falls out a window and splatters on the concrete like a sack of pasta offscreen
claude sez he cant go back without muni as no one escaped and only muni can go back by his own will
claude complains to God about howw this illiterate hick beat him at the plans of The Lord who's been pulling the strings the whole time
claude reasons that muuni needs to leave to free parfker and gf can be happy
and as muni isnt evil anymore, claude can;'t affect him
muni makes a pact saying if he goes back, then claude will leave parker and gf alone for life
muni agrees to go back after asaying bye to gf and wshe comes over and he sez bye and wait, what about smily splattered on the pavement?!
its kinda touching as he wont see her as she's going to heaven and he aint
so paul muni goes back to h-ll and she calls someone , oh its dr, and mnis spirit comesout and watches her
parker says her name for the 1st lines he had this whole filme and they reiunite offscreen
muni notices how good the world is and claude swears to torture him forever
but muni sez he has dirt on claude and says he's keep his lips sealed if he gets to be a trustee
the end
that was grande
its mostly lite, no swearing or violence(outside a fishfighty) aND good acting and writing
its got heart and makes you feel
its something i would reccomend to a priest as FamilyFriendlyGaming would say and it shows how The Lord is in command even if things seem bad
its well put together and has has good twists and looks great in b/w
i liked this and it holds up well today
its got some mild comedy and good heart
for Angel on my shoulder 2 I want it to be the 60s and one o judge parkers kids is being tempted by drug dealers and hippies to abandon his wholesome life and enjoy deviancy and sin. but it turns out they hippies and junkies are guided byu claude rains, now played by an even more birttish guy, and each 10 mins, the teen has to make a choice between virtue and vice and each one is based on the seven deadly sins and 7 heavenly virtues. also its an 8 bit game on sega manster system and game gear, nes and game boy, atari lynx and 7800s and tg16 where each level you have a mini game based on the virtures and sins and which one yo choose determines which ending you get depending on which viurtue or vice you chose with dozens of possible endings
