Summary: 4 Stars
I had fond memories of this movie when I was a child so I bought it to share with my kids. They loved it - they are 12, 5, and 3 - the three year old obviously didn't follow the plot but the music and hilarity kept him interested. Great movie for the whole family! DVD Review: The Trouble With Angels
Summary: 5 Stars
Whether or not you have experienced Catholic School, this movie will entertain and delight. Another fun classic.DVD Review: Works on many levels
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a movie that is so long-lived because it works on many levels. For comparison, consider Sound of Music. One view, it's overly saccharine. In another view, it's scenery, it's music, it's period, it's drama, it's comedy, it's character development, etc. So too with Trouble with Angels. (A) It's a caper movie, a series of amusing slapstick episodes. (B) It's a buddy movie, the two main girls. (C) It's a character development movie: Haley Mills character undergoes enormous development during the movie. (D) It's an unwinding mystery. We know Haley Mills is a nervy contrary brat from the beginning. But only 3/4 through the film do we discover the story of her playboy father who won't or can't live with her, farming her off to the school. Now, a simple movie would have told us this in the first 2 minutes. A really clever movie defers this key fact til the last act, when "it all fits in place". (E) It's a movie about the 1:1 relationship between mother superior and Haley Mills. They clearly identify with each other. When about to dismiss the girls for the fire prank, Mother says: "Rachel is just a follower, not a leader." What she doesn't say, then, Haley Mills IS a leader - and SO is the mother superior. So they have that in common. They're both leaders. It's right between the spoken lines, wonderful. (F) It's a movie about a domineering parent figure, Mother Superior. Everyone identifies with that, perhaps not your own parent, but some dominating teacher or coach of your childhood. (G) It's a period piece and "exotic location" piece, set in an at least moderately exotic locale - a catholic girl's school, pretty far from most people's daily life and even more so today. So just watching daily life in that environment is interesting. ------- Now, you can watch and love the movie without thinking about any of this. But the fact that so many different levels are going on, is part of the long term magnetism of the movie. It should live on for each new generation.
Description of The Trouble with Angels
Hayley Mills and June Harding act up in this affectionate comedy as two juvenile pranksters at the St. Francis Academy for Girls. It is up to Rosalind Russell, starring as the patient and understanding Mother Superior, to show them the right path. Starring Rosalind Russell and Hayley Mills.Actress-writer-director Ida Lupino got one of her unfortunately rare opportunities behind a camera making this 1966 family comedy about two mischievous students (Hayley Mills, June Harding) making life difficult for the nuns at a girls' convent school. Rosalind Russell has a fine part as a mother superior vexed by their pranks and outwardly chilly until the girls catch her in a more private moment of emotional release. The script has an anecdotal structure--it's sort of one thing after another with Mills's and Harding's troublemakers--but there is a rising sense that these two kids gradually develop some awareness of the pain and sacrifices of others. A fun and touching movie all around, with a nice twist at the end. --Tom Keogh
