I first saw The Nun's Story when I was around ten, and even then I knew I was watching something rather special. The story of the trials and tribulations of Sister Luke (the amazing Audrey Hepburn), was filmed in an almost documentary style by Fred Zinnemann, and some beautifully crafted scenes of the austere convent life were sandwiched between some shockingly effective dramatic pieces ( the attack on sister Luke by an violent psychiatric patient being a standout)
I was pretty young when I saw The Nun's Story too. Don't really remember much of it, but do recall I thought I wanted to be a nun. A good feat, since I wasn't even Catholic!! Might have been that I liked the uniform...never was much for going clothes shopping.;<)
