In the present work we have studied the variation of LFMR as a function of the angle ({theta}) between the applied magnetic field and the plane of the film. DC magnetron sputtering was used for film preparation on LSAT single crystal substrates from Sm{sub 0.55}Sr{sub 0.45}MnO{sub 3} targets synthesized by the solid state reaction route. X-ray diffraction confirmed the epitaxial nature of these films. These films have simultaneous ferromagnetic and metal insulator transition at {approx}91 K. These films exhibit enhanced low field colossal magnetoresistance {approx}99% at 3.6 kOe at 80 K. Huge anisotropy is observed in the MR, which decreases from {approx}80% to 6% as {theta} increases from 0 to 90 deg. The evolution of the resistance as a function of time and the magnetic field at a constant temperature (T{approx_equal}77 K) has also been studied.
