A Time to Remember (1987)

It is small town America in the 1950s Twelve yearold Angelo Villano has one dream to someday sing like his idol Mario Lanza His grandmother Mama Theresa encourages him and his beautiful voice catches the attention of the formidable but kind Father Walsh who arranges for him to receive formal training This infuriates Angelos widowed father Frank who wants his son to be a steelworker like him Determined to make a man out of him Frank forbids Angelo from singing When Angelo is chased by bullies into the path of an oncoming car he recovers all but his voice retreating into a silent world that no one can touch One night locked in the church basement the frightened Angelo experiences a spectacular vision a true Christmas miracle that changes his life And when his vision and his voice return during Christmas Eve Mass no one can deny the beauty and blessing of his amazing gift
