Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In his film debut, Burt Reynolds vies with George Hamilton for the love of one heavenly woman. In the American South, evangelist Paul Strand (Hamilton) meets a beautiful, young mute named Jenny, affectionately known as Angel Baby. When Paul prays for her, Jenny's voice miraculously returns ... and the two fall in love, sparking jealousy in Paul's older wife and Jenny's predatory lover (Reynolds). With Paul and Sarah quarreling furiously, Jenny leaves as a traveling evangelist and starts to believe that she possesses divine healing powers. But does she...? |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | When asked about this movie Burt Reynolds replied, "The toughest part about 'Angel Baby' was doing a fight scene with George Hamilton, who at the time was a contender for the title of World's Most Uncoordinated Human Being. Yet he had to beat me up, something that was almost impossible for him to fake. In the dumbest fight scene ever, he sort of lifted me, and I leapt into the bushes, hoping it looked like I was thrown. But it just looked like he lifted me and I'd jumped." See more » |
