Featured review
good Christian movie
Patricia Victoria 'Patsy' Sanderson (Virginia Weidler) is an orphan under the care of god-fearing Mrs. Perkins who dies suddenly. She is put back into the orphanage. She follows the old lady's advise and reads the Bible for direction in life. She reads about Egypt in the Bible and runs away to Egypt, New Jersey.
I love this premise. It is a fun concept with plenty of morality and sweetness already built-in. Virginia Weidler is a good child star who retired in her teens. She may not be the biggest star but she has the natural innocence required for the role. I wonder if anyone is making a remake.
