Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows (1968) Reviews

This sequel is a ghost of the hit that the original Trouble With Angels was, and seems to exist mainly as some sort of counter-culture flipside antidote to the first movie, which someone must have felt was needed here to create "balance." Gee, thanks again, Hollywood. Haley Mills is replaced here by a listless no-name actress, and a really young Susan St. James, as mere shadows of the first movie duo. The tension that developed between Mother Superior and Haley's character in the first movie, gives way to tension between Rosalind Russell again and a young radical nun who spends most of her time in full habit protesting (yeah, right). In the first movie, deeply rigid Catholic values are examined as a point of both hilarity and reverence as the "correct" way of doing things, but here, are mocked and under attack from all sides as outdated and wrong. Worth seeing for Rosalind Russell's performance only, and the plot and rest of the film values are trendo 60's progressive trash.
