CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

atlasmb This comedy has little to recommend it. Whatever drama might be generated by an intergenerational conflict (represented by Mother Superior and the upstart younger nun) was very tame and broadly played. Whatever comedy might have come from the various situations the nuns and their students encounter was rather clichéd and hardly knee-slapping.Where Angels Go is an over-the-road story that could have been about real truths discovered and personal revelations, but--like sixties conventions themselves--it's mostly about surface issues. Easy Rider would soon redefine the genre and create film's new anti-heroes, challenging the status quo in more profound ways. Some reviewers who are Catholic have correctly pointed out that one can see examples of the church's struggle to modernize itself in this film, but the church was struggling with issues already addressed by society decades before, as is always the case.Rosalind Russell turns in a creditable performance as the Mother Superior. Stella Stevens is a worthy antagonist. The other actors were not asked to stretch much. The story just is not that compelling.

lisa195719082 I used to work in Fort Washington, not too far from where these movies were filmed at. Every time I went by the St. Mary's Villa either on my way to or back home from work, I always thought to myself "That's where they filmed The Trouble With Angels." I first saw this movie when I was in school in back in '73; just five years after it was first released. But then I saw it again on TV thirteen years later (in 1986), and I just kept on watching it over and over again. I also have some of the dialogue from this movie memorized as well.Since the story was about them going to California for a youth rally, what they should have done was this: Show them arriving at the rally and filming the rally scenes as well. Continue filming the rest of the journey to California instead of leaving them off somewhere in the desert Southwest, and then returning to St. Francis showing the nuns in their shorter habits. They made it to the rally, but they should have showed them actually being there; not just talk about it.Also, after they left Mr. Farriday's (Robert Taylor) ranch, were they still in New Mexico when they got caught in an Indian attack that was part of a Western movie being filmed on location there, and the bus's axle broke? ) How about when they came across a detour where they wouldn't make the rally in time? Or when they stopped at a museum to pick up some Indian souvenirs? Since Sister Clarissa told the Mother Superior that the detour would take them 125 miles out of their way, were they in Arizona? Since Sister Clarissa (Mary Wickes) drove the bus, she should have taken a highway route to Chicago. Then drive out Route 66 all the way to Los Angeles, and then up the Pacific Coast Highway to Santa Barbara. Instead, she took a lot of back roads; including the one what was detoured. At least they made it to the rally.It's a shame that Haley Mills wasn't in this. If she had, how would she handle Sister George (Stella Stevens) and her liberal ideas; as well as her grumpy cousin, Marvel Ann (Barbara Hunter)? After all, her character in The Trouble With Angels, Mary Clancy, decided to stay at St. Francis and become a nun after she graduated from there.But at least this movie was just as good as The Trouble With Angels.

treeline1 The year is 1968, and protest marches are all the rage. Sister George (Stella Stevens), a young teacher at St. Francis Academy, encourages her students to join her in sign-carrying and chanting, much to the concern of the Mother Superior (Rosalind Russell). When the sisters take a busload of girls across country to attend a peace rally in California, chaos reigns as they encounter endless car troubles, lots of boys, and even some cowboys and Indians.This sequel to "The Trouble With Angels" is a really bad movie. The original had a funny script, the spunk and charisma of Hayley Mills, and an energetic Rosalind Russell. This time around, the plot is ludicrous, Stella Stevens' hip-nun act gets old after five minutes, and poor Miss Russell just looks tired and worn-out. There are awkward cameos by Van Johnson, Arthur Godfrey, Milton Berle, and Robert Taylor but they do have the good taste to look embarrassed. None of the students' characters are developed (even though a very young and cute Susan Saint James shows promise) so we don't care about them. All of the boys and most of the girl students were played by non-professionals who can't act. And the worst part is *SPOILER* - after suffering through every possible road trip cliché - there's no California and no rally.Ever-dependable Mary Wickes reprises her role as a quirky nun from the first movie and she's always watchable, but when an Indian war party attacked the bus in New Mexico, I rolled my eyes in disbelief. Terrible movie.

rwelch2163 I,have this movie and the trouble with angels, it brings back so many memories i lived in that castle for 5 years and spent most of my childhood there.I left right before they started to film it.
