Hildegarde, the old abbess of Philadelphia, dies before naming another hard-line conservative nun, Sister Alexandra, her successor. This prevents the rebellious young Felicity from attempting a takeover, an inconvenience that means Alexandra has to resort to Machiavellian tactics to ensure her victory in the forthcoming election. Glenda Jackson as the Nixon-like Alexandra heads a superb cast in this biting satire on the Watergate scandal.
