The North Avenue Irregulars is a 1979 Disney film starring Edward Hermann, Barbara Harris and Susan Clark. It was based on original work by Albert Fay Hill, as adapted by Don Tait. The film was released as Hill's Angels in the United Kingdom, presumably to latch onto the success of Benny Hill's dance troupe. Reverend Michael Hill (Edward Herrmann) arrives in a mid-sized city as the new minister at North Avenue Presbyterian Church, filling the vacancy caused by Anne Woods' father's retirement. He is joined by his daughter Carmel (Melora Hardin). The secretary/music director for the church, Anne (Susan Clark), is wary of changes for the congregation intended by Hill. Hill wants to get people involved, and asks Mrs. Rose Rafferty (Patsy Kelly, in her final movie role) to handle the church's sinking fund. At the first Sunday, Hill learns from Mrs. Rafferty that her husband Delaney (Douglas Fowley) bet all the sinking fund money on a horse race. Hill delivers a sermon less than 15 seconds... less
