Trivia

Something of a movie comeback for nearly 19-year-old Margaret O'Brien after being away from the screen since 1952, this picture failed to garner a contemporary New York Times review. This fate was shared by her previous vehicle, Girls Never Tell.

User Reviews

Glory (1956)

A perfectly dreadful film that was poorly directed especially in the comedy sequences where in the Director Butler's idea of comedy is to have his actors gesture wildly and contort themselves making the audience more nauseous than merry. Margaret O'Brien was a complete horror..I suppose some found her cute when she was small,I always found her contrived and cold..lite years away from Shirley Temple! Here she proves herself to be the consummate amateur constantly looking at the camera with the glazed look of an anvil hitting her over the head! The songs that she is armed with are certainly musical bombs altho I will admit that she has a passable voice.. I would recommend this film for friends to assist you in laughing at it's unintentional humor and throw old shoes at the screen..Pity that this was Charolette Greenwood's last performance,but not even this great lady can save this train wreck with hooves.
