101 mins - United Kingdom 1947Director: Michael Powell and Emeric PressburgerStarring: Deborah Kerr, Sabu and David Farrar A group of nuns open a makeshift convent in the foothills of the Himalayas, but soon find their vows challenged in this new, exotic environment. Deborah Kerr’s Sister Clodagh has a spiritual crisis, while a fellow nun, brilliantly played by Kathleen Byron, becomes erotically obsessed with a British agent, leading to an unforgettable ending. “Run, don't walk to see this 1947 classic from Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger.” The Guardian
