| User ReviewBee dI just love this movie. I've seen it so many times with my Oma. Watch it! |
| User Reviewtoni fI don't know why this classic didn't get as many high marks as it should have. It's a very good movie and great for family get-togethers as well. This is definitely going in my 'Classic Favorites' folder! |
| User ReviewSue BI love this movie-came out when I was 12 years old, and I was a total Disney, Haley Mills fan then. I still love Haley Mills movies! My husband really likes this movie too, which is really unusual. The story line is funny and moving. Great for pre-teens to adult! |
| User ReviewLucas BA funny but deep movie. It actually got me thinking about joining the convent when I grew up. A thoughtful dealing of a subject matter very few women ever consider. Highly recommend. |
| User ReviewLanning :Update 07/29/08: I just watched this again for the umpteenth time. It never fails to move me. I'm jumping it up to five full stars and adding it to my Top 100. End update. And speaking of Hayley Mills, this is a classic. Rosalind Russell was a huge talent. And if you can believe it, Ida Lupino directed this. No, Hayley, you cannot become a nun. Please. But I'm convinced that it's what you must do. Where is June Harding? She was so good in this. Rosalind Russell is an all-time all-star. |
