It's 1936. It's the adventures of Flavia Mills (Margaret O'Brien) who is the Tenth Avenue Angel. Her aunt Susan (Angela Lansbury) lives with her poor family. Susan's boyfriend Steve (George Murphy) is returning home after getting out of prison although Flavia believes that he had been traveling around the world.
Flavia needs to do more with her sidekick. They need to have adventures on the streets. The sidekick would be better as a cute smaller boy. This should have more Flavia which would make it a better kids' movie. It has to be her movie from her point of view. The mouse story is fun which is a great way to get into a coming-of-age progression. It needs to come from her level and little Margaret O'Brien is capable of delivering.
