The Angel Who Pawned Her Harp (German: Der Engel, der seine Harfe versetzte) is a 1959 West German fantasy comedy film directed by Kurt Hoffmann and starring Nana Osten, Henry Vahl and Ullrich Haupt.[1] It was shot at the Bavaria Studios in Munich. The film is based on the novel of the same title by Charles Terrot which had previously been made into a British film in 1954.
An angel arrives on earth tasked with improving the world.
The main task involves conning a pawnbroker (who specialises in old musical instruments) into believing her harp is valuable. This is set up by organising a "chance meeting" in a pub and convincing him, through a man talking, that he could obtain a valuable harp.
