the angel who pawned her harp (1954)

Very much in the style of an Ealing Comedy, this is the story of an angel who has to earn her wings by helping a series of people in 1950's London. Starring Diane Cilento as a glamorous angel, who lands appropriately at the Angel, Islington and through a variety of means helps bring out the emotions of a variety of people in different ways. A feelgood film, that uses a certain amount of sentimentality, but is never mauwkish.
