Angel on My Shoulder (1946)
Plays here · source: Internet Archive
A murdered gangster is sent to Hell, where the Devil strikes a bargain to send him back to Earth inhabiting the body of an upstanding judge — only for conscience and an unexpected romance to complicate the scheme.
Paul Muni plays the double role opposite Claude Rains’s wry, needling Devil in Angel on My Shoulder, Archie Mayo’s last film as director; its afterlife bureaucracy sits comfortably alongside the era’s other angel-and-devil comedies, from Here Comes Mr. Jordan to Heaven Can Wait.
