Ahksehl Review of The Littlest Angel

The Littlest Angel (1969 TV Movie)

A Shepherd boy dies and goes to heaven and adjusts to becoming an angel a few days before Christ is born

[1/10 · 15 December 2010]

The story line is bad enough but then one has to endure the musical numbers that are just dreadful. The worst is the absolute atonal music that the angels sing while giving their gifts to the Christ child. The whole view of heaven that this movie offers is actually rather offensive. Many of the extras that act the parts of the angels act like whacked out hippies that had to clean themselves up for this production. Their dopey facial expressions and antics are just too hard to bear. One gets the feeling from watching the actors that they are making fun of the whole subject of Christianity.I bought this DVD at a $3.00 bin because I vaguely remembered seeing it as a child. It struck me that it has not been played much, if at all for the past twenty or thirty years. After watching it it becomes very apparent why that is so. Absolute dreck.
