Review of Date with an Angel

This 1987 fantasy-comedy stars Michael E. Knight, Phoebe Cates, Emmanuelle Beart and David Dukes. This tells of Jim Sanders (Knight), an ill composer who is engaged to be married, but things change for him when he meets a wounded angel (Beart) who is sent to take him to heaven. Cates plays Jim's fiancée, Patty Winston who thinks he's cheating on her and gets jealous and Dukes plays Patty's father, Ed who is head of a cosmetics company. I grew up watching this and always liked it. It's got humorous and heartfelt moments, Knight and Beart have good chemistry, Beart is not only beautiful in this, but plays a very convincing angel and I like the atmospheric score. I recommend this good, underrated 80's flick.
