Morris Mishkin is an elderly Jewish tailor plagued by hard times who prays to God for help and receives it in the person of a most unusual angel named Levine, a young, black, Jewish hustler from somewhere between Harlem and Heaven. (fonte: imdb)
  MemorialeSardoShoah | Jun 21, 2022 |
basato su un racconto di Bernard Malamud su Morris Mishkin, un vecchio sarto di New York City (interpretato da Zero Mostel) incapace di lavorare a causa di problemi di salute, creando una tensione finanziaria poiché anche sua moglie (Ida Kaminska) è stata gravemente ammalata per due anni. La fede ebraica del sarto - o la sua mancanza - viene messa in discussione quando un uomo che si definisce Alexander Levine (Harry Belafonte) entra nella sua vita, sostenendo di essere il suo angelo custode. Levine afferma che deve far credere al sarto nella sua missione o non riuscire a guadagnare le sue ali angeliche.
