Wholesome and upliftingVerified purchase
"The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." (James 5:16b)
"Verily I say unto you, except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 18:3)
Those two Bible verses perfectly encapsulate what this film is all about, in a way that the 1990's remake (which I grew up with) was not. More generally, it is a good example of the difference between old-school and modern Disney. Once upon a time, Disney stood for and provided wholesome entertainment that promoted family values and moral uplift. Now they just seek to provide entertainment for its own sake (or other things which I don't need to elaborate). And it's not new. This has been going on for at least 30 years. All that aside, I found this film to be outstanding. It is simple, yes, and the conclusion is telegraphed from the very beginning, but it understands that a child's sense of wonder and ease of belief are laudable things that should be protected instead of dismissed out of hand or reasoned away. It also shows the possibility and power of redemption. All of these are reason enough for me to return to this again instead of the remake, entertaining as it may be.

PeculiarVerified purchase
This movie addresses more than what it appears to be. We watched it twice. There's hidden meanings within the script/scenes that gives one much to contemplate.

GREAT WATCHVerified purchase
Used capital letters because liked it more than most movies. Have seen it before. It has held up the test of time. Great gift idea. Someone has everything gift wise and want to give then gift I think this is it. So old not many people remember it. It brought a tear to eye of lady gave to. But has happy ending. She is passing it around at church. But put name on it so gets it back.

Another great baseball from the 40's and 50's.Verified purchase
Original version of this title, several older well known starts from the 50's help make this a threat movie, funny as well.

REVIEW FOR "ANGELS IN THE OUTFIELD"Verified purchase
REVIEW:This film is interesting from a comedy, history , religion, baseball!!! Also since Forbes Field was torn done, it is no longer there..
I grew up near Pittsburgh & no one seems to have pictures of Forbes Field. Only 2 baseball players ever hit a baseball over & out of the right field stands. So I liked this film & was the first time I looked at it. Also the home plate now is in a building ( where it originally was) but now inside a building. All other items from old
Forbes Field are history// gone forever. Film also shows what the culture & life was in the 1950's. The little girl who saw the angels was great. I got several laughs out of it. Historically for Pittsburgh & baseball it was good .
