When the movie was released in Spain after a period of censorship (Franco’s censors did not want a movie where a nun leaves the church), it came out under the more suggestive title of “The Rebel Nun.”
That was silly. The whole reason nuns don’t take final vows for five years is expressly so they can leave if it doesn’t suit them....
The mentally ill leader of the SSPX characterizes this movie in particular as being the beginning of the “triumph of the pornographic culture.”
LOL! My wife was in a boarding school run by nuns in Ireland and for years she thought the movie ended when Julie Andrews went back to the convent!
