Half Angel (1936 film)

Half Angel is a 1936 American comedy film directed by Sidney Lanfield, starring Frances Dee, Brian Donlevy, and Helen Westley. The film centers around Allison Lang, a young woman who inherits a substantial fortune but must adhere to a strict moral clause in her grandfather's will. If she is caught in any compromising situation, she forfeits the inheritance. This leads to a series of comedic misunderstandings and situations as Allison attempts to navigate her new life while avoiding any appearance of impropriety. The film features elements of screwball comedy and romantic entanglement as Allison finds herself attracted to a charming but somewhat dubious man, played by Donlevy. Westley portrays a stern and watchful guardian who is determined to ensure Allison follows the rules of the will.
