Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows, 1968, Is Playing on TCM on Dec. 7

Sadly, there is only one film that even comes close to being a Robert Taylor film playing on Turner Classic Movies in December.  Where Angels Go Trouble Follows, 1968, is playing on Turner Classic Movies on December 7 at 10:00 p.m. est.  Closed captioned.

This isn’t really a Robert Taylor movie but his cameo was one of his last screen appearances. There is a wonderful bit where Mr. Taylor meets a bus full of young ladies and one of them falls in a faint. He had a problem with that in real life.

abcIn this follow-up to The Trouble with Angels, the wry but wise Mother Superior of St. Francis Academy For Girls accompanies a group of nuns including modern, progressive Sister George, with their high-spirited students on a bus trip across America to a California peace rally. Along the way, they encounter a series of adventures that include multiple bus problems, an overnight stay at a Catholic school for boys run by Father Chase, a Western dude ranch owned by millionaire Mr. Farriday (Robert Taylor), a flamboyant movie director shooting a Western on location, and a bunch of menacing biker toughs. Written by alfiehitchie for the IMDb.
