Last night I happened to catch Turner Classic Movies' tribute to Jean Simmons (hosted by Robert Osborne, of course) http://www.tcm.com/movienews/index/ ?cid=289302
The movie remains an engrossing examination of the relationship among religion, con-artistry, and (anti)intellectualism in America.
The only criticism I have of Simmons' performance as Sister Sharon Falconer is that she hardly comes across as "Katy Jones from Shantytown." On the other hand, she does add "I am Sharon Falconer now! I've made her. . . [I have] a right to be her!"
