Summary: A Beautiful Epic
Review: This is one of the greats. Audrey Hepburn gives her best dramatic performance in this movie. It really is an unforgettable experience - I cannot recommend it enough. Should have won "Best Picture" instead of "Ben Hur", but that's just one opinion.

Summary: Nuns who look like and act like nuns!!
Review: This is one of the truly great films of the late 50's in the genre of religion. It details with wonderful accuracy the plight of a woman caught in an order of nuns that asks her to be a nurse and cloistered nun all in one. The schizo life-style does not suit Audrey Hepburn who suffers to live it, from Belgium to the Belgian Congo and back to the ravages of WW II. She must make a decision weather to aid the allies or stay in the convent and be neutral and therfore somewhat conspirstorial; it all couched under the vow of obedience which haunts her from the very start, acting as a metaphor for individual will vs. institutional Church. For the time this was produced, the themes and the ending are daring indeed. The Catholic Church hated this film but could not have it cut or condemned because it was a blockbuster in one week.On the cutting edge of Vatican II this story, beginning in the 20's, ending in ww II, is quite prophetic. Audrey Hepburn has more than just convent ways..she is a nun, with a habit that makes her look like a true nun. A stunning performance and an academy award winning one, but she did not get it. In any case, get The Nun's Story and learn about religious life in the Catholic Church before it disappeared. By the way, where is the lbx DVD of this film????

Summary: Extraordinary!
Review: This is truly my favorite movie. It has all the right ingredients - great photography, exotic local, haunting music, unrequited love, a unique plot, a small part by the late great Colleen Dewhurst, and of course, the ever spectacular Audrey. Save the experience for a lazy, drizzy day: You will be mezmorized!

Summary: One of Audrey's first dramatic roles
Review: This movie stars Audrey Hepburn in one of her first tries at a dramatic movie role. It is one of the best movies that she ever made. It is the story of a nun who tries desparately to fit in, but feels that when she doesn't, she has sinned. When she arrives in the Congo to help set up a clinc for sick people, she meets a doctor who helps her to find herself. One of the successes of Audrey's portrayal of the nun in this movie was that she went to meet the real woman she was to play and visited the real clinic that had been set there. This movie was a turning point in Audrey's career and in the way that people viewed her. It helped her to feel more confident in her acting skills as well. It is a classic movie with a wonderful story that everyone will enjoy.

Summary: Agree with above
Review: wonderfull fllm. With all do respect to willam wyler, his version of Ben Hur was not as good as the c.b. demille version nor this movie. If oscars were based on solely on marit this movie sould have won best picture, director, and actress. It is amazing when you note that a actress with no formal training could carry a 3 hour film in that Fred zimmerman set up as character study. Most Hollywood big color epics tend to be about the river platt that is a mile wide, 1000 miles long and an inch deep. This film is about a person
