The Angel Levine

Harry Belafonte stars as the Angel Levine, a black Jewish angel sent to help a down-and-out Jewish tailor named Morris (Zero Mostel). It's Belafonte's job to help Morris value life as he struggles to care for his gravely ill wife, make ends meet and find his place in the world. The film is an adaptation of the story by Bernard Malamud (who also wrote The Natural).
