And the Angels Sing

And the Angels Sing (1944)

4... Count 'Em... 4 Heavenly Honeys... and One Lone Wolf!

The singing/dancing Angel sisters, Nancy, Bobby, Josie, and Patti, aren't interested in performing together, and this plays havoc with the plans of Pop Angel to buy a soy bean farm. They do accept an offer of ten dollars to sing at a dubious night club on the edge of town where a band led by Happy Marshall is playing.

Production

The film was originally titled "Four Angels" but was changed to And The Angels Sing after Paramount bought the rights to the name of the song. Cole Porter was originally meant to write the songs.

Filming was meant to begin in April, 1943 but was delayed as Cully Richards enlisted in the army and a replacement had to be sought. Doodles Weaver was also cast, in the role of Hoiman but he was removed from the cast and replaced by Frank Faylen. Filming took place from May to June 1943.
