Night Magic is a 1985 Canadian-French musical film written by Leonard Cohen and Lewis Furey and directed by Furey. The film stars Nick Mancuso as Michael, a down on his luck musician whose fantasies begin to come true after he meets an angel (Judy, played by Carole Laure).[1] The film's supporting cast includes Stéphane Audran, Jean Carmet, Frank Augustyn, Louis Robitaille, Anik Bissonnette, Nanette Workman and Barbara Eve Harris.[2]
The film was originally slated for release as Angel Eyes,[1] but reverted to its original working title Night Magic by the time of its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 17, 1985.[2]
Most of the score is in Spenserian stanzas.[3]
