Who wouldn't like seeing the voluptuous Playboy Playmate Stella Stevens as a nun that gives Mother Superior (Rosalind Russell) fits. Russell is no slouch either, Her performance in His Girl Friday is one of the best comedic performances of all times.The film also features Mary Wickes, who played a lovable nun in the Sister Act films.It's corny, of course, and the main thrust of the adventure is the clash of civilizations between the old nun and the young one, but it was interesting nonetheless, and there were some really great points to ponder throughout.Just the thing on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

I must disagree with the previous analysis of this film. ANYONE who was in Catholic school or involved with the Catholic Church during that period of time will laugh, cry and identify with this movie. It portrays a very realistic view of the struggles happening in religious life in the late 60's, including the sad ending of the "updating" of the habit.Further, if you ever taught school, or can remember high school days pre-cell phones and MP3's you'll enjoy this film. The crazy antics that girls in that era did, especially the little angels of a Catholic School, is enjoyable and keeps you smiling throughout the film. As in The Trouble with Angels, its predecessor, Rosalyn Russell is the sequential Mother Superior. ANYONE who had nuns will identify with her.Unlike today's films there is no language, no nudity and no one gets killed, yet all have fun. A MUST SEE!

I remember this movie fondly, as a kid.It helps that the fictional bus trip in the movie passed near my hometown.The music has that Hermans Hermits, Freddy and the Dreamers, musical feel. When I think of it I think of all those "older girls" at a dance just jumping up and down to that theme sound..... that was.... again.... a sound that defined the period. Myself at the time wished I was at that dance.This was that whole Haley Mills, Patty Duke era. They were "mature older women" for me.I don't relate to the Catholic thing in the movie but it just exudes 60's youth pop innocence.Just a worthy nostalgia piece.... that's all. Definitely part of a pop era for myself as a 13-year-old.

I,have this movie and the trouble with angels, it brings back so many memories i lived in that castle for 5 years and spent most of my childhood there.I left right before they started to film it. It was made in ambler pa and is still there it was a home for children that were placed there for many reasons some from broken homes and under other reason i have gone back once and since the movies there have been many changes no one lives in the castle anymore it it use for office but really hasn't changed much except they have built a new chapel which was in the castle and some of the girls live there on the third floor i do remember swimming in the lake there it was our swimming spot at that time. but i watch it a few times a years with my grandchildren wow what a long time but i have so many memories good and bad
