Night Magic, a musical fantasy, is set on earth but it is also about the heavens. At the centre of it all is Michael, a music hall artist, who finds Judy, an angel that epitomizes the woman of his dreams at the System Theatre where he is about to open his new show. For Michael it is just another show along the road but once inside something happens. The night is full of possibilities- full of love and romance, jealousy and infidelity, music and dance, even good and evil. Most of all it is full of magic.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Lewis Furey and Carole Laure were married; this is basically their expensive couples project. It tanked.
Made during Quebec's 1980s cinema boom but rejected even by French-Canadian audiences. The 'System Theatre' was Montreal's real opulent ruin.
