The
Trouble With Angels (1966)
Synopsis: Best known for her
acting in hard-bitten melodramas, Ida Lupino may seem a curious choice to have
directed this convent comedy, yet she brings a much-needed hard edge to what
might otherwise have become another predictable journey down the road from
rebellion to reformation.
Hayley Mills is naughtier than in her Disney
days, but much of her thunder is stolen by the debuting June Harding as her
mousey friend. Mother Superior Rosalind Russell walks away with every scene
she's in, but not even the dependable support of Binnie Barnes and Mary Wickes
can atone for the cosiness of the conclusion.
Cast: Hayley Mills,
Rosalind Russell Runtime: 112 min
