कहानी

In the 1955 American comedy-drama film "We're No Angels", two escaped convicts, Jesse (Joseph Cotten) and Oswald (Richard Sheldon), find themselves in a precarious situation. With the police hot on their heels, they concoct a plan to disguise themselves as priests and sneak into Canada. As they approach the border, they meet three actual priests - Father O'Hara (Aldo Ray), Father Flynn (Flint McCullogh), and Father McHugh (Gregory Walton) - who are on a mission to help a young girl named Immaculate Conception (Muriel Lawrence). The escaped cons see an opportunity to blend in with the priests' attire and pretend to be holy men, hoping to distract the authorities long enough to cross into Canada. As they journey along the road, the fake priests encounter various characters, including a group of orphans, a widow, and a gruff but lovable farmer. Through their interactions, Jesse and Oswald are forced to confront their own moral compasses and learn valuable lessons about compassion, kindness, and redemption. Meanwhile, the real priests face their own set of challenges as they try to help Immaculate Conception, who is being pursued by her abusive stepfather. As the story unfolds, the lines between reality and deception become blurred, leading to a series of hilarious misunderstandings and heartwarming moments. Throughout the film, director Charles Laughton's masterful direction brings to life a charming and whimsical tale that explores themes of forgiveness, faith, and the power of human connection. With its memorable performances, witty dialogue, and poignant exploration of redemption, "We're No Angels" is a timeless holiday classic that continues to delight audiences to this day.
