Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
One of the unlikeliest pop stars of the 1960s gets the bio treatment in The Singing Nun, a fictionalized account of the Belgian nun dubbed "Soeur Sourire" (Sister Smile). The cute tone is regrettable, and it's difficult to adjust to Debbie Reynolds in a habit, but the movie isn't bad for its kind. It's the light version of The Nun's Story, with Hollywood conflicts substituted for spiritual angst. The supporting cast brings in some camp appeal: Agnes Moorehead as a cranky nun, Chad Everett, and "Ed Sullivan as Himself." The best sequence has Sullivan's CBS crew showing up in Belgium to tape the Singing Nun for his TV shew--er, show--and sending the irresistibly catchy "Dominique" on its way to international success. It's the same breakthrough sequence found in every rock & roll movie, except the song happens to be about a Catholic saint. Doesn't matter: what works, works. --Robert Horton

A must-see for those who did not grow up during the Debbie Reynolds' era. The music is melodious and the movie has a message. Great story, has everything, drama, comedy, unrequieted love, choices. Bittersweet ending for the viewer, joyful ending for the nun who asked the Lord for guidance, then let Him lead the way!

Agnes Moorehead, playing an amusingly stern nun, is the only reason to see this film. The fictionalized story here is contrived and predictable. Some of the edits are poor, such as a scene with four nuns. Agnes Moorehead says a line, who is nowhere to be found. It was obviously inserted later. Another scene shows Juanita Moore conversing with Reynolds, but a second later, Reynolds is talking to someone else. Ricardo Montalban, formerly known as a latin lover in movies, is miscast as a priest. He ... Read More

I don't know why Ed Sullivan didn't get more movie roles after his performance in The Singing Nun. Astonishing, simply astonishing.
I hear he had a TV show, too.
