I watched this movie with my mother when I was quite small and have had the “A-men” song in my head ever since. Re-viewing it, I was happy to find that it is an amusing movie that is amazingly free of racist content (Breakfast at Tiffany’s, I’m talking to you.) It might be a little slow for children today, but would be a good choice for a multi-generational family gathering.

I like nuns. I like the redeeming goodness of a culturally competent story. Sounds like a good pick!
