Storyline

- TriviaThe plot is very different from the original due to the regulations covering children's programming at the time. Michael is never naughty and is always on his best behavior. In fact, actors in these programs weren't even allowed to roll up their sleeves.
- GoofsAs Michael is "falling" off the cliff, a pair of hands appear at the left of the frame to catch him.
- ConnectionsEdited into Hallmark Hall of Fame (1951)
Featured review
Not bad.
I saw it for the first time as a kid in the 1990's at Catholic school, with little knowledge of 1960's television or that it was from that far back, and found it kind of enjoyable, although I felt bad for the kid dying and missing his home. (And I blinked and missed that he fell off a cliff, and thought he had died of exhaustion from climbing the mountain trying to catch the bird). I rewatch it as an adult recently (knowing more about 60's television), and am like, this movie was that old? The angel boy was the kid from 'Family Affair'? The guardian angel was Herman Munster? Also, I'm re-seeing the trippy 60's effects, which went over my head as a kid, and while I didn't see their names anywhere in the credits, if someone told me Sid and Marty Krofft had a hand in production, I would believe them. Overall not a bad movie, with 60's stars.
