The Messenger
Comedy/Drama. By Joan Kufrin.

Cast: 2m., 3w. Angela hasn't married. She still lives with her dotty, demanding, semi-lovable parents. Childhood polio has left her with a limp. She's not particularly attractive until sudden, true love transforms plainness into radiance. The trouble is Angela's fallen for a smooth-talking, good-looking stranger who's as old as her father. Her buttinsky family (mainly her younger sister, Estelle) peg the stranger as a fraud and try desperately to talk her out of the whirlwind romance and the buttinskys are right. The handsome stranger is deceiving Angela. Will love triumph? Absolutely! But not before the cherished lies that all five characters hold close to their hypocritical hearts are exposed. A deliciously satisfying romantic comedy with overtones of universal heartache for lost dreams. One int. set.
