Half Angel: The Essential Cinema of Jean Arthur

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

Briskly directed by Mitchell Leisen from a script by Preston Sturges, this represents Jean Arthur in full flower, known and loved by the public, and enjoying every second of it. The farce begins when annoyed tycoon Edward Arnold tosses his wife’s sable coat over the balcony wall. It lands many stories below in the lap of shop-worker Arthur. When she tries to return it, the misunderstandings begin.
