A Rumor of Angels

A Rumor of Angels is a 2002 American film directed by Peter O'Fallon, starring Vanessa Redgrave, Trevor Morgan and Ray Liotta. The story is based upon the 1918 novel Thy Son Liveth: Messages From a Soldier to His Mother by Grace Duffie Boylan. Although the novel tells the story of what a mother learned from her son about death after he dies in a French battlefield during World War I, the movie is set in the latter part of the 20th century.
