Editorial Review:
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

Rating:  - The Trouble With Angels
Whether or not you have experienced Catholic School, this movie will entertain and delight. Another fun classic.
Rating: - Works on many levels
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 ... Read More
Rating:  - Angel, Angel, Down We Go
Hayley Mills is very beautiful in the role of Mary Clancy, but she's tiny, it's hard to believe the actress was 20 years old when she made this feature. (And June Harding, as Rachel Devery, was a good 26 years of age!) After leaving Disney, Mills sought a more varied palette but at least initially, her one-picture deal at Columbia was like a carbon copy of the roles previously offered her, and many fans make the mistake of assuming that THE TROUBLE WITH ANGELS is a Disney family film. It may not be ... Read More
Rating: - Classic Comedy for Family Viewing
This '60s classic, which is Hayley Mills' best film, grows even better with age. Mills plays the out-of-control wild child at a girls' school run by nuns. The movie, like the book it is based on, goes through a series of comedic situations that Mills gets the girls into, season after season, until the surprise ending as the girls graduate.
What makes the films so great is the mood it sets--it was made just at the time the Catholic Church was changing its rules and it mixes the modern antics ... Read More
Rating: - The Trouble With Angels
Being a huge Haley Mills fan since my youth I was pleased to be able to find this video to purchase. I was not disappointed.
I saw this movie when it first came out in the mid sixties. It is really refreshing knowing there are movies that are watchable by the whole family. No cursing or embarrasing situations that we have to explain to our children/grandchildren. I'd recomend this movie to viewers of all ages.
