Date with an Angel

In a sun‑splashed suburb where ambition and affluence intersect, Jim Sanders dreams of making his mark as a composer while navigating the expectations that come with his engagement to the privileged Patty Winston. Their relationship glitters with the polish of high‑society parties and the pressure of a looming marriage, setting the stage for a story that balances earnest creativity with the glittering demands of a wealthy family.

The everyday routine of Jim’s life takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious, broken‑winged Angel appears floating in his swimming pool one night. Her silent presence, gentle coos, and delicate injury introduce a whimsical, otherworldly thread that tugs at Jim’s heart and imagination. The contrast between the Angel’s ethereal simplicity and the polished, sometimes stifling world of Jim’s fiancée and her father, Ed Winston, creates a playful tension that underlies the film’s tone.

Adding to the mix are Jim’s longtime friends—George, Don, and Rex—who bring a raucous, entrepreneurial spirit to the mix. Their outlandish ideas for turning the Angel’s discovery into a profitable venture clash with Jim’s more tender instincts, highlighting the comedic clash between genuine affection and opportunistic schemes. The friends’ antics infuse the story with a lively, irreverent energy that keeps the atmosphere buoyant even as deeper questions about love, purpose, and destiny surface.

The film unfolds as a breezy romantic comedy tinged with fantasy, inviting viewers into a world where music, miracles, and misplaced ambitions collide. With a tone that wavers between heartfelt sincerity and witty absurdity, the narrative teases the possibility that an unexpected celestial visitor might just be the catalyst for Jim to discover what truly matters—both in his art and in his heart.
