- Although most of this movie was filmed in 1946, some scenes from "Tenth Avenue Angel" were reshot a year later in 1947, and the movie itself wasn't released by MGM until 1948. Margaret O'Brien plays Flavia, a superstitious tenement child of the 1930s, who becomes disillusioned when she realizes many of her mother's fables aren't really true.
I feel that, as a child, she really was an angel, the best kind: that of the innocence and beauty of a child. Those scenes in which she realizes that so many stories she was told were not truthful are heartwrhencing: "Everybody lies to me..." But it's so wonderful how she pulls off the comeback of belief which is more correctly faith. Sometimes faith is all we have to help us through the rough and bad times. Love you always, Margaret.
I never like her at all. She is nobody to me.
So sweet angel 😇
Yes, to all that. And she was a marvelous actress. And faith, like a tank of gas, can run out. And hearing comes by faith, and that by the Word of God. I am desperate for a new tank full right about now ... Even so Lord Jesus, come quickly ...
@@antonioginez5994 Why just asking she seems to nice and angelic apart from when she has to play a brat in a movie like tootie Smith in meet me in st.louis 1944

I got this movie from my husband for my birthday. Just loved it!
This was on TCM at Christmas time and I recorded it. Just watched it today and this little girl IMHO puts todays major movie stars to SHAME. Her performance was fantastic. This is a wonderful Christmas time movie.
Thanks for posting this. Margaret was such a talented actor, and "blessed" every movie in which she was cast. She looked so much like my own daughter, who was "spirited away" by my ex, that it always evoked a tremendous emotional response from me. My daughter is now a grown woman, and Ms. O'Brien is certainly not a "kid" any more either, but they both, as youngsters, could "wrap me around their finger". I truly treasure my happy memories of both, and prefer to remember them "as they were".....These movies have in some way given this "sentimental old fool" great joy.
She could wrap me around her little finger too - those big eyes x
Margaret O’Brien was one of the greatest child actors of all time.
This was just on TCM today. Margaret is such a wonderful actress.
Written on Christmas Eve: 4 months after my last post, I still believe that 10AA is an overlooked and unappreciated Christmas classic just ripe for rediscovery, and shown alongside "It's A Wonderful Life" and "A Christmas Story". My prayer is that more people reconnect with this wonderful and make it the classic it should have been all along.
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-
Yet another great job by Margaret O'Brien. As a Jewish child in the 1940's I always hated these super religious themes, but the really fine actors involved (many of whom were Jewish) made them ok. Angela Lansbury has had one of the longest and most prestigious acting careers Did I hear
George Raft as Steve? Couldn't tell, but the voice--. Also the great character actors grace this film and lots of others.
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.
You mean "She and Shirley Temple should have made a movie together". On that, I agree.
Margaret & Shirley careers as child actresses didn't really overlap (much). By the time Margaret appeared in her first non-cameo movie at age 5 ("Journey for Margaret" - which is when she changed her name from Angela to Margaret), the nine-years-older Shirley was already 14 years old, her chld acting career pretty much over. It still would have been cool, tho, seeing a teenage Shirley with Margaret. Like it was seeing an older Judy Garland with Margaret in "Meet Me in St. Louis." They were charming together!
one of my favorites

Last Christmas Time, TCM had a special about the greatest Xmas movies of all time, and naturally MO'B was interviewed. They showed clips from her holiday-tinged movies.... all except 10AA..What an oversight! If more people could see this wonderful film, then 10AA would be right up there with "It's A Wonderful Life", "Beyond Xmas", "A Xmas Story", and the many versions of the Dickens Carol. And yet, neither MO'B nor TCM even bother mentioning it.
Just found out that Phyllis Thaxter, who played her Mom in this picture, has just passed away. She also played Sarah Kent in the first CR "Superman" film.
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).
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.
Margret Obrien appeared in a trailer about the war. She was sitting on a staircase practicing a speach. It was amazing. Is it on here?
I fell asleep last night watching this movie and didnt get to see the end. Is there anywhere I can watch the whole thing?
Great Movie, dont make them like that anymoew
I didn't know that she buried her head in bed, crying.
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
It is because Margaret O'Brien was so bad in acting.
Margaret O' Brien was very unfriendly when I saw her in person during antique dolls shows.
I never did like that bitch. Even when I was a child , I never like to watch her movies.
Natalie Wood is very friendly and sweet. She came to visit San Francisco many years ago. She greeted me with a smile.
She is my favorite child actress.
I know Margaret O'Brien is now 82 years old and has been. As an adult her, popularity declined. She is no longer popular.
Natalie Wood was still very famous. I saw her movie in Rebel Without a cause with James Dean and Sal Mineo.
Well worth watching. Trust me.
Margaret O' Brien is now an old witch.
You saw her once and decided she is a bitch and a witch? A bit much, I think.
