VHS Movie Reviews of Singing Nun
Movie Review: Great standard flick from the 60's...heart warming, real.
Summary: 5 Stars
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!Movie Review: VHS The Singing Nun

Summary: 5 Stars
My sister had seen this movie when we were younger and named her first born after hearing the song "Dominique." It was a gift she really cherished when I gave it to her.Movie Review: I'll have nun of this
Summary: 1 Stars
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 is a distraction. Katherine Ross is also unbelievable as a poor girl who turns to stripping to pay the rent on her cockroach infested shack. This is almost a comedy, except that it isn't funny. Stick with The Flying Nun. Movie Review: Ed Sullivan's Oscar Moment
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Summary of Singing Nun
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 Horton1960-1969 Video
