The Trouble With Angels (1966)

Two young rebellious teenage girls (Hayley Mills, June Harding) become fast friends at a private all girls Catholic school during their three years of tenure. But their rebellious ways prove a headache to the Mother Superior (Rosalind Russell). Based on the memoir LIFE WITH MOTHER SUPERIOR by Jane Trahey and directed by Ida Lupino. Although this isn't a Disney live action film, with Hayley Mills in the lead role and the family friendly narrative, it feels like one. Perhaps it's slightly edgier than the other Disney films of the era but it is a warm and charming film that doesn't make wholesome a dirty word. It was popular enough at the box office to warrant a sequel two years later, WHERE ANGELS GO TROUBLE FOLLOWS. With Camilla Sparv, Jim Hutton, Mary Wickes, Kent Smith, Gypsy Rose Lee, Marge Redmond, Margalo Gillmore, Portia Nelson and Binnie Barnes.
