WE'RE NO ANGELS (1955)

Studio: Paramount Pictures

Producer: Pat Duggan

Director: Michael Curtiz

Awards: NONE

Interesting Fact: The authors of the book that originated this film were Samuel and Bella Spewack. In contrast they also wrote the musical "Kiss Me Kate" (1953).

My Favorite Scene: There is a scene in the film, that I have viewable below, where they contemplate on warning their victim. The writing, timing and also the acting of all three are fantastic in this moment.

Joseph: We came here to rob them and that's what we're gonna do - beat their heads in, gouge their eyes out, slash their throats. Soon as we wash the dishes.


This film may be unknown to you. Even though it is a Christmas classic, it is not seen much these days. It is a story of three convicts who escape prison and are mistaken as workers by a household. They soon feel a need to solve some of the problems of the home by using their own eccentric tactics. The reason why I love this movie so much is because of its dry humor. The three angels are polar opposites to the three stooges, but yet, they are just as funny. It is a beautiful story with tongue in cheek humor!
