Angel on Fire
1974, dir. Roberta Findlay
"The first erotically explicit film ever made by a woman"
Arrogant chauvinist Steven (Alan Marlow) is killed in a car crash after dumping his pregnant girlfriend (Judy Craven). As punishment for his actions, he is sent back to Earth from Heaven to be reincarnated as the beautiful Stephanie (Darby Lloyd Rains). The only way he can be allowed back into Heaven as his original self? To fall in love with—and be loved in return—by a man.
Heavily publicized—if erroneously—as "the first erotically explicit film ever made by a woman," Roberta Findlay's Angel on Fire (originally titled Angel Number 9) is a charming riff on Goodbye Charlie with a cast of New York regulars including Jamie Gillis, Jennifer Jordan, Marc Stevens, and Eric Edwards.
2K restoration by Vinegar Syndrome.
