Almost Angels (1962)


Walt Disney
Directed by Steve Previn
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Walt Disney)

Innocuous Disney drama set in the real-life Vienna Boys Choir. Tony is the new kid, who passes his audition and gets selected to join the rest of the choir at their lavish castle/school in Vienna. It's not all work and no play, between rehearsals there are practical jokes and pillow fights. Conflict arises between Tony and the oldest member, but when his voice begins to crack the two hatch up a plan to hide it. Unfortunately, the opera that is chosen to perform features most of the cast in dresses, not exactly helpful to the image of choirboys.
