amelia and the angel (1958)

"This is the story of Amelia, the least angelic of them all."
Young Amelia (Mercedes Quadros) is forbidden to take away the angel wings, that form part of her costume for an upcoming dance. But she takes them home anyway. Unfortunately her little brother soon damages them, and she is forced to scour the streets of London for replacements.
Experimental short film by Ken Russell, that incorporates many of the themes that he developed in later projects, from dance to treatise on Catholicism.
