The Singing Nun ★★ 1966

The true story of a Belgian nun who takes a liking to a motherless little boy. She writes a song for him, and a kind-hearted priest talks to a record producer to see about getting the song to go somewhere. The song soon becomes an international hit, and the nun ends up on the “Ed Sullivan Show.” Sentimental and sugary sweet, but a big boxoffice hit. 98m/C VHS .
