The Divine Sister is an outrageous comic homage to nearly every Hollywood film involving nuns. Evoking such films as The Song of Bernadette, The Bells of St. Mary’s, The Singing Nun and Agnes of God, The Divine Sister
tells the story of St. Veronica’s indomitable Mother Superior who is
determined to build a new school for her Pittsburgh convent. Along the
way, she has to deal with a young postulant who is experiencing “visions,” sexual hysteria among her nuns, a sensitive schoolboy in need
of mentoring, a mysterious nun visiting from the Mother House in
Berlin, and a former suitor intent on luring her away from her vows.
This
madcap trip through Hollywood religiosity evokes the wildly comic but
affectionately observed theatrical style of the creator of Die, Mommie, Die! and Psycho Beach Party.
