==Plot==
Marisol, who has recently lost her father at sea, leaves Cádiz to travel by train to Madrid to live with her uncle Ramón. When she arrives at his house, she realizes that he lives in a family that is falling apart because of her aunt Leonor, obsessed only with appearing to her friends, and who has spoiled her children, Javier, Churri, Jorge, and Pili. Javier spends his time partying, Churri flirting with various suitors, Jorge exercising and neglecting his studies, and Pili, still a child, going to the movies.

Her aunt and her cousins receive her coldly and despise her until they discover that the girl has 25,000 pesetas with her from the sale of her parents' furniture, allowing her to stay but only in the service area where the Galician maid Herminia takes her –and a little stowaway that she met on the train and that she brought into the house in a suitcase– under her protection. Little by little, thanks to her kindness and sympathy, and with the help of Herminia and Peque, Marisol wins over her older cousins.

Javier gets into trouble with a deal that threatens to land him in jail, and Marisol decides to get the money any way she can. Since she knows how to sing and dance, she auditions for a movie, but she doesn't get the role because the lead actress fears that she will overshadow her. She also competes in a television singing contest accompanied by the group of students she met on the train, finishing second and winning only one mattress. The producer of the film she auditioned for sees her on television and hires her immediately, thanks to which she is able to pay Javier's debts anonymously.

Marisol, accompanied by Herminia and Peque, leave the family house without giving any explanation, but not before Herminia puts her foot down, telling the family everything she has kept to herself for so long at their service. Later, uncle Ramón and Javier are shocked when they find Marisol in a park dressed poorly, playing a barrel organ, and begging, until they realize that she is making a film.

An Angel Has Arrived, better known under its Spanish title Ha llegado un ángel, is a 1961 Spanish musical film directed by Luis Lucia, starring child star Marisol and Isabel Garcés, with music by Augusto Algueró and lyrics by Antonio Guijarro [es].

Plot

Marisol, who has recently lost her father at sea, leaves Cádiz to travel by train to Madrid to live with her uncle Ramón. When she arrives at his house, she realizes that he lives in a family that is falling apart because of her aunt Leonor, obsessed only with appearing to her friends, and who has spoiled her children, Javier, Churri, Jorge, and Pili. Javier spends his time partying, Churri flirting with various suitors, Jorge exercising and neglecting his studies, and Pili, still a child, going to the movies.

Her aunt and her cousins receive her coldly and despise her until they discover that the girl has 25,000 pesetas with her from the sale of her parents' furniture, allowing her to stay but only in the service area where the Galician maid Herminia takes her –and a little stowaway that she met on the train and that she brought into the house in a suitcase– under her protection. Little by little, thanks to her kindness and sympathy, and with the help of Herminia and Peque, Marisol wins over her older cousins.

Javier gets into trouble with a deal that threatens to land him in jail, and Marisol decides to get the money any way she can. Since she knows how to sing and dance, she auditions for a movie, but she doesn't get the role because the lead actress fears that she will overshadow her. She also competes in a television singing contest accompanied by the group of students she met on the train, finishing second and winning only one mattress. The producer of the film she auditioned for sees her on television and hires her immediately, thanks to which she is able to pay Javier's debts anonymously.

Marisol, accompanied by Herminia and Peque, leave the family house without giving any explanation, but not before Herminia puts her foot down, telling the family everything she has kept to herself for so long at their service. Later, uncle Ramón and Javier are shocked when they find Marisol in a park dressed poorly, playing a barrel organ, and begging, until they realize that she is making a film.
