Featured review
Another of my favorite classics from childhood was 1966's THE TROUBLE WITH ANGELS, a sassy and entertaining comedy from a time long forgotten about two teenagers (Hayley Mills, June Harding) who meet at a Catholic convent school called St. Francis Academy, who become fast friends and cause nothing but headache for the Mother Superior (Rosalind Russell). I remember seeing this movie in the theaters during its original theatrical release and enjoying it immensely. Rosalind Russell and Hayley Mills were both at the top of their game as the protagonists in this comedic cat and mouse game between student and administrator where you know something has got to give at some point and it actually does. Laughs and warmth abide in this entertaining family comedy, the likes of which we will never see again.

- TriviaThe exterior shots were filmed at the former St. Mary's Home, an orphanage in Ambler, Pennsylvania. It is also known as Lindenwold Castle, or the Mattison Estate The main building looks like a stone castle and is still standing. It was featured prominently in this movie, but all of the interior shots were done in a studio in California.
- GoofsAt the beginning of the movie, when the bus is shown en route to the train station, the hubs of the wheels are dirty silver but in the next shot, when the buss is pulling in to the train station, the hubs are black. Not only that, but it is not the same train station in the second shot as in the first shot.
