Nun's Story
The Nun's Story is based on a book by the same title. The book was loosely based on the author's friend, Sister Luke. She enters the convent with full devotion but her faith is tested twice in her life.
She is assigned to the Congo in Africa and meets Dr. Fortunati. He helps her get well from tuberculoses. She is again tested during WWII.
The nuns are instructed to stay neutral.
The film was nominated for an array of Academy Awards. Audrey received an Oscan Nomination also. The real Sister Luke helped nurse Audrey back to health after she fell while filming the Unforgiven.
