Actually, this is not really as bad a movie as some would say it is. I think that it would have been more appreciated if it hadn't come out on the heels of the super-money maker "Sound of Music" which... Read more at imdb.com

I was a very young Catholic school student when this movie came out (see my comments about the TV show "The Flying Nun"). At the time, it was STRONGLY suggested by the sisters teaching us that we go to see... Read more at imdb.com

In the early 60's, a nun, calling herself The Singing Nun, released an album of musical hymns and religious songs that turned out to strike a chord with the public. Just about everyone alive in that era still can recognize... Read more at imdb.com

Everyone loves a good ending where all live happily ever after. Such is the case with this movie. I'm sure that Hollywood wanted to capitalize on the hit song in 1963. This movie came out in 1966 and is fine... Read more at imdb.com

The film is somewhat syrupy and a bit simplistic, but correct in most essentials and, after all, quite entertaining. The music, of course, is the best thing about it...quite uplifting. "Raindrops" is my particular favorite, but the duet on "Beyond... Read more at imdb.com

She sings, she's feisty, she rides a scooter, she plays guitar! Debbie Reynolds dimples her way through super simplistic comedy-drama about a nun who inadvertently becomes a pop star. Based on a real-life Belgian nun who had a hit with... Read more at imdb.com

For Catholics, this movie is very easy to digest. This movie illustrates age-old lessons from the gospel parables in such a simple yet compelling plot. Sis Ann is your everyday man. She has God-given talents. Composing and singing beautiful songs... Read more at imdb.com

Despite the best efforts of the actors, this movie is awful. The screenplay can only be described as moronic. I appreciate that it is the songs that draw people to watch it, but if so, do stick to the record.It's... Read more at imdb.com
