The challenge here - well, not counting the super-dull story - is it's basically a Margaret O'Brien pic. But at her age that lisping innocence shtick was grating rather than endearing. Even worse, they gave her a bit of a pointdexter edge, where she spouts useless factoids nobody cares about. That magical mouse story, followed by the waterworks, was almost too much to bear.
As for Hell's Kitchen, it's more like Heck's Living Room. It has about as much edge as a red ruber ball.
Angela Lansbury sure was a dish, though. Worth speeding through this movie on the PVR just to get a look at her.
