Review of The Singing Nun (1966) by Adam R — 30 Jan 2016

Corny musical about nun Debbie Reynolds becoming a surprise music sensation with a hit record. Romantic tension building between Reynolds and her record producer and the film goes pretty much were you'd expect.

Though nothing here seems all that original, it's all done very well and with a classy cast that includes Greer Garson, Agnes Moorehead, Katharine Ross, Chad Everett as the love interest and Ricardo Montalban as the priest who gets Reynolds into the recording studio.

I'm not really a fan of musicals and the only reason I watched this is over by obsession with Ricardo Montalban (who sadly wasn't in the film as much as I'd hoped), but I was surprisingly entertained by the light fluffy musical.
