This is a sequel? To what?
A question I'm passing on. If this is a sequel, what's the first movie?

The trouble with angels

It's a sequel to "The Trouble With Angels."
shareI prefer this one to "The Trouble With Angels" for some reason. It has a lot more going on, I think.
share"The Trouble with Angels" was written by Jane Trahey (originally titled "Life with Mother Superior") about her days at a Catholic girls boarding school. It's a true story. "Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows" I am guessing was a movie sequel written to go after the first movie, loosely based on the same characters, but Jane Trahey never wrote that story. Marvel Ann was only a minor character and someone's cousin in the first story. They make her the main character in this second story and Jane & Mary are nowhere around in this second story. They were the main characters in the first story.
shareActually...although the names have been changed...the Stella Stevens character is really Mary Clancy. Haley Mills did not opt to be in the sequal.
The original film was in the Top Ten grossing films of that year. Although not as campy and silly as the follow-up...it certainly is the higher budgeted film with the better script..better score..and far better actors. The sequal flopped at the box office.
I really don't think Stella Stevens' character is actually Mary Clancy. Given that Marvel Ann was still in school at St. Francis (I'm guessing she was probably one year behind Mary and Rachel... remember that Uncle George was sendng her to the nuns since she was six, and the original movie covered three school years), Mary Clancy was most likely starting out her novitiate and would not have been teaching so quickly, let alone been a full-fledged nun at that point.
shareAw what a pity. We'll certainly miss yo....
Oh nevermind we dont give a *beep*
I think the point you are missing is it doesn't have to be "either or". You can ACTUALLY enjoy both original movies AND remakes and sequels. Insisting other wise kinda makes you come off as a movie snob.

I think that was true at one time, probably because Where... seems "newer", the style of filmmaking being more in tune with the styles of the late 60s and 70s; the first film was made in a very traditional style and feels more like a 50s/60s film. I certainly remember seeing the second film a lot growing up, but I think there's been a turnaround in the last ten years or so. The Trouble... seems to turn up on TCM and TBS every couple of months (I've seen it at least three times in the last year or so), but I've seen Where... only once in the last five or six years.
shareWell, I recall seeing The Trouble with Angels while a kid. But I never remember seeing the sequel. I liked Hayley Mills, and saw pleny of her films on the Disney Sunday Night Movies.
I might have seen the sequel, but it didn't leave any memory. The sequel seemed to center more on the Nuns in the beginning.
You might want to set that off from the rest of your message, maybe with an extra line space or something (I think the standard for email is an extra line space followed by a line with three dashes, followed by the signature). If you post only once in a thread, (like you did here) it's easy to mistake the "signature" as an incongruous statement. That's how I took it; I just ignored it because it seemed irrelevant, since we are talking about a sequel.

C'est ne pas une signature.
The original movie was The Trouble With Angels with Hayley Mills and June Harding as the troublemakers. I watched this sequel recently and fell asleep. It was that good a sequel. Besides, Stella Stevens is no Hayley Mills when it came to making trouble for Rosalind Russell's Mother Superior. This was defintely NOT one of Russell's better roles in her long movie career.
