Goofs:
Continuity: At 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. more
Quotes:
Mary Clancy: Hi, Marvel-Ann!
Marvel-Ann Clancy: Drop Dead!
Rachel Devery: Who's that?
Mary Clancy: Marvel-Ann. My uncle George is her father. He's been sending her to the nuns since she was six. I said she was illegitimate, so she hates me.
Rachel Devery: Is she?
Mary Clancy: Lord, no. Uncle George is very careful about that sort of thing.

Wonderful Film, 13 October 2000
10/10
Author: johnm_001 from USA

A heartwarming, poignant, funny film, with first rate performances from the entire cast. Mills and Russell are stand-outs, as is June Harding, as Mills' "stooge". Episodic in its approach, the film manages to build to a totally cohesive climax. Beautifully directed by Ida Lupino, with a great score by Jerry Goldsmith (Poltergeist, Star Trek - The Motion Picture, The Omen, The Mummy). Even in this "sophisticated" world, this film will be enjoyed by the entire family. A hit in its day, spawning a less than satisfying sequel (Where Angels Go Trouble Follows), "The Trouble With Angels" is a wonderful film. See it!
