The Canal of the Angels (Italian: Il canale degli angeli) is a 1934 Italian drama film directed by Francesco Pasinetti and starring Maurizio D'Ancora, Anna Ariani and Ugo Gracci. The film is shot in semi-documentary style. In a poor neighborhood of Venice, a young boy becomes aware of his mother's adultery.[1]

Along with a number of other films of the 1930s, it has elements which are a precursor to the emergence of Italian neorealism in the mid-1940s.
