The Nun's Story

on BBC Two England

A Fred Zinnemann season starring Audrey Hepburn with Peter Finch
Edith Evans , Peggy Ashcroft
A young Belgian girl becomes a nun and is given the name of Sister Luke. She finds her period of training increasingly difficult, for her intelligence and independent spirit make the principle of unquestioning obedience particularly hard to observe.
Fred Zinnemann had to wait two years to realise his ambition of filming The Nun's Story. When he finally succeeded in bringing the project to the screen, the result was one of bis most deeply-felt films, gaining three Academy Award nominations.
