Singing Nun, The
-- Hollywood's tribute to the joyful spirit of a young Dominican nun is colorful, sentimental and lively, though Henry Koster's glossy direction is out of tune with the reality of a basically interior story about the difficulty of secular fame for a member of a religious community. Greer Garson as the mother superior turns in a well-balanced performance while Debbie Reynolds sings prettily and Agnes Moorehead provides comic relief. There is some pleasant amusement, a little uplift and the music of "Soeur Sourire" is well worth hearing. (A-I) (br)
