REVIEWS Review by Anthony Ciconte (posted on 7-May-2007) This movie is a delightful spoof on life in a all-girls Catholic high school of the 1960's. Hayley Mills is delightful as the girl that drives the Mother Superior crazy at the school. It takes you through four delightful years where the good sisters are challenged to say the least to deal with the students who are experienceing a new phase of their lives. Rosalind Russell is a scream as the Mother Superior she has practical and firm, but fair attiutude as the principal. Marge Redmond you remember her from the cool whip commericals as Sr. Ligourie who uses the daily racing form to teach math. She keeps "Mother" from expelling the two main atagonist of the film. Mary Wickes is her drool self as the gym teacher of the school. You will enjoy her jumping into the pool in full-habit to save Hayley and June who can't swim as the try to pass swiming for graduation. There are some touching scenes also the Christmas scene in paricular comes to mind, Mother Superior is shown comforting and older women whose children have failed to visit and Miss Mills is a witness to this. I believe this begins the search that Hayley has through the movie. Gypsy Rose Lee is a parody of herself as the outsider who is brought in to teach "style" to the girls, relax she doesn't play a nun! Jim Hutton is also in the film as the neighboring shcool's band leader. He doesn't have much of a role just a good looking guy for the girls to ogle at. As I said in the begining of this review it a four year trip for the girls and it concludes with Hayley Mill's character joining the convent. If you like a film that doesn't have sex and you just want something to watch with your family I recomend this film.
