Always wonderful to see anything with Jack Klugman (Oscar Madison from The Odd Couple TV version). The first half is fairly commonplace. Jack Klugman is on the verge of overacting portraying an alcoholic at his wits end, with his life spiraling downward out of control. The story up to here is borderline unbearable how depressing it is. Veteran actor Ned Glass as the pawnbroker in an outstanding performance. It picked up quite a bit when archangel Gabriel (John Anderson) appears to recharge Joey Crown's appreciation for life. The appearance of airhead Nan (Mary Webster) out of the blue was very sappy. Average story but still better than any TV show made today.
