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). The film's supporting cast includes Stéphane Audran, Jean Carmet, Frank Augustyn, Louis Robitaille, Anik Bissonnette, Nanette Workman and Barbara Eve Harris.
The film was originally slated for release as Angel Eyes, but reverted to its original working title Night Magic by the time of its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 17, 1985.
Most of the score is in Spenserian stanzas.
