This film was a great starring vehicle for the enormous talent of Margaret O'Brien as a child actress. With no singing nor dancing ability on which to rely, she stole your heart with her acting.
James Craig and Marsha Hunt were the romantic leads with creditable performances. Craig as the link to the real world for the heretofore sheltered 'angel', was entirely believable. Marsha as a nightclub singer and jealous competitor for Craig's attention also sang "I've Got You Under My Skin" although the soundtrack seemed to go awry at one point during her performance on the last occasion this viewer enjoyed the movie.
The supporting cast was strong with Philip Merivale, Henry O'Neill, Donald Meek, Keenan Wynn, Sara Haden, and Elisabeth Risdon among many.
This movie stands out as a winner among the many Margaret O'Brien movies shown on TV. It would be a shame to miss it.
