• Warner Brothers originally intended this property as a Technicolor vehicle for Bette Davis, who made a Technicolor screen test as the young nun. The project was soon cancelled, and several years later, when asked about it, Ms. Davis quipped, "Of course, the only thing I've never played is a nun!"
• The role of Stuart was intended for Sir Dirk Bogarde. He turned it down and suggested Sir Roger Moore.
• Carroll Baker was concerned about being typecast after her provocative role in the controversial Baby Doll (1956), and began refusing parts. The studio offered her a choice of roles, and she chose this one because it was as different as possible.

A great trash wallow, with operatic overtones
Postulant nun goes into the world and experiences heartache
Although it IS overdone,if you're in the right mood, you will enjoy it.
