## Description

Hayley Mills stars in this delightful comedy about two mischievous students who turn a convent school upside-down with their pranks. Hayley Mills plays Mary Clancy, who, with her best friend Rachel Devery (June Harding), succeeds in driving the Mother Superior (Rosalind Russell) to distraction with an endless number of practical jokes. Just when there appears to be no hope for the school's two mos

Review: What is it about this movie? - If you haven't seen this movie, this review (or perhaps reflection) definately has spoilers. This movie has been a part of my life since I first saw it in the theater when it came out in 1966. I lived pretty close to where the exteriors where filmed (now the Villa, a program for troubled youth and families) in Ambler PA and whenever I go by there, I still look to see "the Castle". In the 50+ years since it came out, I've seen this movie countless times, from when it would be broadcast on local TV to owning it though desertcart video. In the past, I would always hope it would be shown in late autumn as the movie always had an autumnal feel to it for me. The segue from Marvel Ann's sick room to the large lighted tree in front of the Castle with the snow falling and the singing of "Angels we have heard on high" by the nuns always put me in an anticipatory Christmas mood. So what makes this movie special? Everything. The cast is perfect - with Rosalind Russell who is both very controlled (can anyone roll their eyes like she can?), yet deeply moving; I had a crush on Hayley Mills before this movie came out - so did many other boys my age. And June Harding is under-appreciated - it wouldn't be the same movie without her. She really is Rachel and she holds her own with Hayley. It's a realistic and moving portrayal. Then we have the direction by Ida Lupino, a wonderful dramatic actress from those film noirs. In different hands, this movie could be overly sentimental or more of a zany comedy. But all the scenes are played straight which heightens their impact. The directing for such a movie makes it so much more than it has any right to be. Then there's the music. When I would watch it over the years, one of the things that would bring me immediately into the spirit of the movie was the opening music and the music through out the movie so brings out the feeling of the movie. Again, the impact of the movie wouldn't be the same without Jerry Goldsmith's contribution. And that's just the point: this little movie from 1966 has deep emotional impact. Yes, there's the "scathingly brilliant ideas" but those are placed within movie of deep richness showing real and moving relationships and, in the case of Mary, the real development of her humanity. It's understated insights don't cease to amaze and move. My favorite scenes are those where the main characters are just being with each other in special ways - Mother Superior with Liguori after Mother Superior decides not to expel the girls, Mother Superior with Mary as she is finishing up Rachel's dress (the moving "finding something better" speech), Mary and Rachel at the window late at night as graduation approaches. Even Mary's "harsh" statement at the "Home for the Aged" at Christmas shows that she is on her way - she is effected by what she sees and experiences - and Reverend Mother sees it. These are real relationships movingly portrayed. And these relationships make the scene with Reverend Mother in the chapel after the loss of her closest real friend and confidant (and she probably didn't have many) so devastating and moving - I've never not cried at this scene- the sense of deep loss and grief is very real. So we have this silly little movie from 1966 which judging from the reviews here on desertcart is more special and rich than it may initially appear on the surface. Yes, there's a nostalgia for my childhood, but I saw a lot of other movies at this time, and few have I had the relationship with over the years as I have had with this - this silly little movie, that is so much more.
Review: Love this movie!!! - What can possibly say about this hilarious movie? The cast for this film did a fantastic job. The cost to buy this DVD is reasonable, used ANAZON PRIME again, arrival within a 24 hr. period! Highly recommend this wholesome movie, beats the GARBAGE that film makers have made over the last 20 + years!!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Scathingly brilliant film!
*by R***N on December 14, 2020*

What can I say?? I grew up with this movie, and was in love with Haley Mills (who wasn't??). I've owned this movie on VHS and DVD, which both were pan-and-scan versions, and didn't do the film the justice it deserves. This Blu-ray transfer is wonderful, both picture and sound, and it's finally, FINALLY in widescreen! And, it's more than just a teen comedy --- there is much heart and lots of emotion throughout, and was brilliantly directed by Ida Lupino, with an entire cast that is just tremendous. And the Jerry Goldsmith score to me is one of his best........perfectly suits the mood of the movie throughout all of the seasons the film traverses....it's not a "B" movie as many say, but an "A" movie in my book, on every level. And the ending still gets me blubbering like a baby every time, even for this 58 year old guy who's seen it probably as many times as I've seen "The Wizard of Oz". Side note: I actually met Haley Mills when she was touring with "The King and I", in Minneapolis over a decade ago, at the backstage door......it was snowing outside and cold, and she could have just brushed my partner and I off to hurry on her tour bus, but instead, stood and talked with us for over 20 minutes (commented on my sweater even)!!! Of course, I had to get in the line, "I have a scathingly brilliant idea"! :) She was one amazing, gracious, beautiful lady, and that's one experience in my life I'll never forget, ever.
