Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows (1968)

Simply Perfect

Nice effects though.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows is a 1968 sequel to the 1966 classic The Trouble with Angels, but lightening definitely did not strike twice here.Rosalind Russell reprises her role as the Mother Superior who heads up St. Francis Academy, a convent school for teenage girls. In this film, the Reverend Mother finds herself at odds with a new nun at the Academy named Sister George, exuberantly played by Stella Stevens, whose radical ideas about education and everything else excites her young charges but works Reverend Mother's nerves into a frazzle. The conflict between old and new reach a fever pitch when Reverend Mother and Sister George take several of the girls on a cross-country bus trip.The film attempts to recapture t he spirit of the first film, but the conflict that Russell and Stevens' characters create here just aren't as interesting as the conflict between Russell and Hayley Mills in the first film. The adventures presented here include the bus breaking down and an encounter with a movie star (Robert Taylor) filming on location.Russell and Stevens work very hard to sustain interest here and Binnie Barnes and Mary Wickes also recreate their roles from the first film and provide sporadic laughs. Van Johnson appears as a priest and one of the St. Francis girls is played by a very young Susan Saint James.It's a pleasant time-filler, nothing more, but Hayley Mills is sorely missed.

Who wouldn't like seeing the voluptuous Playboy Playmate Stella Stevens as a nun that gives Mother Superior (Rosalind Russell) fits. Russell is no slouch either, Her performance in His Girl Friday is one of the best comedic performances of all times.The film also features Mary Wickes, who played a lovable nun in the Sister Act films.It's corny, of course, and the main thrust of the adventure is the clash of civilizations between the old nun and the young one, but it was interesting nonetheless, and there were some really great points to ponder throughout.Just the thing on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Dismal follow-up to "The Trouble With Angels" from 1966 has mod colors and pseudo-hip chatter, but plays like bottom-drawer Disney. Rosalind Russell returns to her role as the uptight Mother Superior at an all-girls religious boarding school, faced with newly-radicalized students and a rebellious nun (played by Stella Stevens, treading water). Family-oriented nonsense wants to be commercial, a 'today' picture for all ages, yet features some unbelievable sequences (a crowded school-bus stalling on the railroad tracks, Sister Stevens facing down a menacing group of Hell's Angels, etc.). Russell manages to give this scenario some class. Directed by Disney mainstay James Neilson, who might have benefited from a snappier sense of pacing. * from ****
