this film is the bad poorly acted version of "a tree grows in brooklyn", that movie was filled with tearjerking scenes dashed with wonderful acting, writing and directing. this one on the other hand has the usually talented margaret o'brien and angela lansbury wasting their time on a stale cliche story with the most stupid dialogue. ATGIB though done Hollywood style was just mesmerizing and leaves you wanting more, while TAA leaves you wanting to shoot the TV set
Set your VCRs and DVRs! On Aug. 15, Turner Classic Movies (TCM) is featuring Margaret O'Brien movies all day as part of their Summer Under the Stars series. They will be airing the following movies: Dr. Gillespie’s Criminal Case, Music for Millions, Tenth Avenue Angel, Her First Romance, Journey for Margaret, Canterville Ghost, Meet Me in St. Louis, Little Women, Secret Garden, Our Vines Have Tender Grapes, Bad Bascomb, Heller in Pink Tights, and Big City.
Egad, some of these remarks are corny, and referring to her as "this kid" does jar. I don't know why, though, for it is true that Margaret O'Brien is only really famous because of her unparalleled appeal as a child actress.
I think that her clearly enunciated delivery and scene-stealing ability to establish a irrestible emotional contact to the audience has never been matched ... and this was there from the first (see her in "Journey For Margaret" that launched her into stardom at age 5).
it is a terrible shame that these old films should bring about such comments--- this "kid'" as you call her - is Miss Margaret O'Brien she is a very blessed woman a grand lady of American Film ...not a kid... I guess if your brain can not distinguish between a "make-believe" act on film & real life ...then... yes call the "kid" a kid...I prefer to remember her as a truely talented artist of screen acting..And God Bless Miss Margaret O'Brien , bless your heart forever-
Thats too bad ur sister dosen't like her, but I think Margaret O'Brien is my Favorite actress ever since I started watching her in The unfinished dance after You john jones. Margaret O'Brien is a very good and a cute actress with her little cries (Sniffs)
no they don't make movies like this anymore though i haven't seen it yet it looks quite good and i really want to see, anything with Angela Lansbury i love her she plays aunt susan and Margaret O'brien is quite believable in these clips.
I don't mean to be rude and I understand your opinin but i really love watching this kid. I saw her in Meet Me In St.Louis and have really enjoyed her since. I get why u moght think shes too dramatic, but she was still such an amazing gem.
Don't worry, Jerryknuck, you're not being rude at all. While you feel differently about Margaret O'Brien than I do I can see you still respect my opinion and I respect yours. Thanks so much. (But I have to concede that little Margaret DID have some really funny scenes in "Meet Me In St. Louis.")
Her and Shirley Temple should have made a movie with each other

I was heartbroken when Flavia's mother said that mice don't turn into money.:(

What if? Never would have happened of course. But if O'brien had been given the
lead in "Splendor in the Grass", and with
Kazan directing, the results would have been very interesting.

I can't help but like this kid ever since Meet me in St. Louis. My sister thinks she's annoying though, so I have to watch her films in secret.

I knew I was not the only one who thought Margaret O'Brien tried too hard to be dramatic!

Maybe that's why she was perfect for the secret garden - The personality fitted perfectly.
