Charley and the Angel

Charley and the Angel is a 1973 Disney familycomedy film set in an unidentified small city in the 1930s Depressionera Midwestern United States and starring Fred MacMurray in one of his final film appearances and his last movie for Disney. The film, directed by Vincent McEveety, is based on The Golden Evenings of Summer, a 1971 novel written by Will Stanton.

Charley is visited by a shabbylooking angel Harry Morgan who appears visible only to him. The angel tells Charley that his time will soon be up, and the shopkeeper decides to become religious, patch relations with his family, sell his business, and do the best he can to be a good father and husband before he dies. Charleys angel appears intermittently throughout the film, occasionally helping Charley, and occasionally causing mischief. The angel reveals his name as Roy Zerney.Charley is initially unsuccessful at effecting change. His gestures are incomprehensible to his wife and children, who see his sudden change of behavior as bizarre, particularly his decision to sell the store. Charley appears ostensibly insane whenever he speaks to, or looks for, the lingering angel who is visible only to him. When Charley tries to take money from his account in the bank, he learns from the banker Ernie Edward Andrews that the bank will be closing for a while and may be in danger of foreclosure. He must loan money to soninlaw Ray, and to his friend Pete George Lindsey. Business tightens, and Charley is running out of time and money. ........
