      Wayne Stein: [trying to tutor Angela in history] Well... you listen to music?

      Angela: Yeah.

      Wayne Stein: You sing along, right?

      Angela: [hardly paying attention] Sure.

      Wayne Stein: Well, you remember the words, right?

      Angela: That's different.

      Wayne Stein: No! No, no, it's not different. You can learn new lyrics, like, for D-Day.

      [Wayne starts singing improvised lyrics to 'That'll be the Day']

      Wayne Stein: Battle of D-Day, the Second World War. Battle of D-Day, nineteen forty-four. Battle of D-Day, I'll say it once more. When Eisenhower led the troops to Normandy's shore.

    Wonderful TV movie!

    "Earth Angel" is a classic TV movie, the urban legend of the prom queen who dies in the 50's or 60's (as is the case in this movie) takes a drastic romantic-comic change instead of being a horror story, the result is amazing. The film is wonderful with a very positive touch, the script is quite compelling, the light-dark cinematography is very good, the performances are quite funny and cute, the costume and hairstyle designs based on the 60's are well done. A classic from TV movies.
