Hayley Mills and June Harding are Mary and Rachel, two girls attending St. Francis Academy. Right off the bat, they are already off on the wrong foot with mother superior and sister clarissa, Rosalind Russell and Mary Wickes. Even with all the scrapes they get into, the music always has seems to have whimsy and adventure to it. The trouble they get in is nothing too crazy, and at times they even make friends with the nuns. It's kind of silly, and clearly aimed at a younger crowd. And those who went to catholic school. Its okay. Uncredited role for Tim Hutton. He was also making Walk Don't Run with Cary Grant, but Angels was released first. Story from the life of author Jane Trahey. Seems to be the last full length film directed by Ida Lupino. She acted and directed television after this.
