If We All Were Angels (German: Wenn wir alle Engel wären) is a 1936 German comedy film directed by Carl Froelich and starring Heinz Rühmann, Leny Marenbach and Lotte Rausch. The overall plot was similar to that of The Virtuous Sinner (1931) which Rühmann had also appeared in.[1] It was made at the former National Studios in Berlin while location filming took place around Cologne. The film's sets were designed by the art director Franz Schroedter. It was re-released in 1950 by Herzog Film.
