Trivia
The 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.

Goofs
As Michael is "falling" off the cliff, a pair of hands appear at the left of the frame to catch him.

Connections
Edited into Hallmark Hall of Fame (1951)

Dealing with Death in the 60's

This production still stays with me after all these decades.Around that time television never openly addressed death.The censors would tell the characters of a show that the person who died simply WENT AWAY to visit a sister.Great cast and they all sang on key but the songs slowed down the continuity or flow to the performance.Sad ending seeing bewildered grief stricken parents, and of course that hug from the littlest Angel makes your eyes misty; no water.Nice to see Fred Gwuinn, Tony Randall and James Coco. Connie Stevens was a perfect angel herself trying to teach the new arrival how to fly.Special effects at that time could easily use improvement.A period piece for sure.
