The Nun’s Story 06/04/24
The Warner Archive Collection
Blu-ray
It’s the kind of movie we get dragged to see … which then becomes a respected favorite. Robert Anderson, Fred Zinnemann and Audrey Hepburn’s interpretation of Kathryn C. Hulme’s book is a stunningly mature woman’s odyssey, about a young nun’s attempt to find fulfillment in a a demanding social-spiritual vocation, that seeks to reconstruct its postulants. Young Sister Luke has a difficult time conforming, in school, in an asylum, in the Congo, and finally back home during the WW2 Occupation of Brussels. We can’t think of another film with as many memorable roles for so many great supporting actresses, topped by Edith Evans, Peggy Ashcroft and Mildred Dunnock. On Blu-ray from The Warner Archive Collection.
