	Movies - The Trouble with Angels

The Trouble with Angels is a 1966 comedy film starring Rosalind Russell and Hayley Mills set in a fictional all-girls Catholic boarding school operated by an order of nuns. Russell plays the Mother Superior, who spends the movie at odds with Mary Clancy (Mills), a rebellious teenager, and her misery-loves-company friend Rachel Devery (June Harding). The movie, which follows an episodic storyline that follows the young women through their high-school years, also stars Marge Redmond (who also appeared in the television series The Flying Nun) as Sister Liguori, Mary Wickes as Sister Clarissa. Gypsy Rose Lee is also featured in the movie.

The film marked a departure for Mills who was attempting to emerge from her juvenile leads in Walt Disney-produced teen comedies as a comedic actress in this production directed by Actress/Director Ida Lupino.

The film enjoyed good reviews and enough success to warrant a sequel (Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows). However Mills opted not to reprise her role as the progressive protagonist and was replaced by Stella Stevens, who played foil to Rosalind Russell’s Mother Superior. Uncharacteristically, Russell criticized Mills's professionalism in her memoirs. Russell credited her Catholic-school education as inspiration for her role as Mother Superior.
