Full Plot Details

Young and inexperienced Sister Ann has just arrived at her next posting at Samaritan House, a Dominican order located in a disreputable neighborhood of Ghent, Belgium. Sister Ann is enthusiastic, progressive but naive, all which irks one of the senior sisters, Sister Cluny, especially the fact that Sister Ann has a prized material possession, a guitar she's named Adele. Sister Ann considers Adele and her music to be her friends. Contrary to Sister Cluny, the Mother Prioress believes Sister Ann will be a welcome addition to their order. This posting is to be the training ground for Sister Ann and others to become missionaries in Africa. Sister Ann's path takes a detour when the order's Father Clementi hears Sister Ann sing. He believes Sister Ann should record her music and as a favor asks Robert Gerarde of Primavera Records for recording time. Unknown at the time the request is made, Robert and Sister Ann are old friends who attended the Paris Conservatory of Music together five years earlier before she became a nun. Robert believes Sister Ann could be a recording sensation, keeping true to her style of music of religious based folk songs. As Sister Ann becomes more famous, which includes an appearance on the Toast of the Town (1948), Sister Ann increasingly wonders if she truly is doing the work of God, as she admits she enjoys the adulation of being a celebrity and despite the financial gain to the church. This question, which was important previously in dealing with a precocious local boy named Dominic Arlien (after who she named one of her songs) and his troubled family, becomes all the more important after a specific incident which threatens Dominic's life.

Movie Reviews

EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyDebbie Reynolds, then in her second and last popularity phase, plays the titular role in this unbearably cloying, poorly scripted musical melodrama, trying to cash in on the success of The Sound of Music.
The New York Times - 3/10 by Bosley CrowtherIt takes a soft heart and a strong stomach to absorb the amount of saccharine that is studiedly and shamelessly dished up in Henry Koster's The Singing Nun.
User Review - 10/10 by Katherine VThere seems to have been a rash of well-made mid-1900 B&W films revolving around Irish Catholic priests and nuns, often played by Irish Hollywood greats. This is one of them, and perhaps one of the most enduring. Debbe Reynolds made her debut as an engaging impish ingenue in "Singing in the Rain," but this movie shows her at the peak of her performance skills. The whole cast is marvelous, and the storyline -- with the "oh golly" goodness typical of such era films -- makes you ponder the meaning of goodness and self-devotion. This true story was so popular that it was adapted into a TV series, and records of the actual Singing Nun still grace my dad's LP collection today!
User Review - 8/10 by Private UA classic Musical. a great film. if you like musicals you need to see this one.
User Review - 8/10 by Louise BDEBBIE AGNES GREER & RICARDO!! BLESS THEM ALL!! HOLLY ENTERTAINENT!
User Review - 8/10 by Marilee AGood movie. It was a little bit like watching Sister Act but in 60's.
User Review - 8/10 by Adam RCorny musical about nun Debbie Reynolds becoming a surprise music sensation with a hit record. Romantic tension building between Reynolds and her record producer and the film goes pretty much were you'd expect. Though nothing here seems all that original, it's all done very well and with a classy cast that includes Greer Garson, Agnes Moorehead, Katharine Ross, Chad Everett as the love interest and Ricardo Montalban as the priest who gets Reynolds into the recording studio. I'm not really a fan of musicals and the only reason I watched this is over by obsession with Ricardo Montalban (who sadly wasn't in the film as much as I'd hoped), but I was surprisingly entertained by the light fluffy musical.
User Review - 8/10 by Toni PThe film is somewhat syrupy and a bit simplistic, but correct in most essentials and quite entertaining. The music is the best thing about it and quite uplifting. Debbie Reynolds did a good job as Sister Ann. The script was also excellent. Henry Koster did a decent job directing the movie. This movie is a must see if you are a fan of Debbie Reynolds.
User Review - 6/10 by Evan HDebbie Reynolds is the highlight of this movie. Cute songs and interesting side plots fill the background for this movie.
User Review - 4/10 by Michael T***QUAINT IDEA FOR A MOVIE IS, NUNTHELESS, HOLLYWOOD NUNSENSE***
