So true!!! I remember watching it at Sacred Heart school and we all loved it. It was at a time when the year prior our Sisters were in habits and the next year they were wearing mini dresses, short veils or none and playing folk style music during Church service. I loved and admired our Nuns so much.🙏🏽😊
My all-time favorite movie! Hayley, June and Rosalind sparkled in their roles and the rest of the cast were wonderful, too. We lost June in 2019 at the age of 81 but Hayley is still with us. I wrote to June in 2007 about how much I LOVED the movie and she wrote back to me telling me how much she LOVED making the movie. That letter means even more to me now. I went to a Catholic grammar school in San Jose, CA. from 1959-1967 and the Presentation Sisters who taught us so well looked like the nuns in this beloved movie. Those were some of the BEST years of my young life. Sadly, I never got a chance to see the movie on the big screen. And Jerry Goldsmith's LOVELY soundtrack made the movie even more memorable. It is a comedy-drama that is loved all over the world after all of these years. It is a timeless classic for all ages! 😇
Great time to live in as well as me with my memories “ Sacred Heart School “ In New Jersey 1962 to 1970 teachers cared… wish I can go back to those times not knowing what it is like now! ❤❤❤❤ Loved it!
I grew up around the corner from the castle in Ambler, PA where they filmed all the outdoor scenes for both movies. You, like me, would cry, if you saw it today. The magnificent grounds totally destroyed for million dollar houses. Scorched earth, not a tree remains, only the castle, which is in bad shape. Breaks my heart.
So very sad to hear that, I don't live too far from there and really wanted to pay it a visit. I watch this movie at every opportunity; I had a huge crush on Hayley Mills back in the day!
I was a kid in a San Francisco catholic grade school back in the 70s. Some local channel ran this movie during Christmas time. Though I was a guy, the story deeply resonated with, and the depicted nuns were very similar to the ones that ran Saint Rita's...
I think the most heart wrenching part in the movie was the sudden death of Marge Redmond who played sister Liguori . She was the number two sister in charge and math teacher . The Mills/ Harding duo as well as the other girls liked and admired her . You could tell she and the Mother Superior were best friends for a long time , and had a great bond . There was parallel between their relationship and the one between Mills and Harding . It made the speech given by Russell as the Mother Superior to Harding at the end of the movie more haunting , as though she was speaking about her departed friend . On the other in speaking to people who had contact with nuns ,the one played by Ms. Mary Wickes , the bus driver/phy ed teacher seemed to be the most realistic nun from their memory .
LOVED this movie (and all of Hayley's films)! Most of 'em were made before I was born, but I still loved em and watch 'em to this day. They don't make em like this anymore :(
I saw Hayley Mills in an interview a few years after this movie was released, turns out our sweet Hayley picked up a cigar lifestyle from doing the cigar scene. She and her then husband often enjoyed an after diner cigar.
Always loved this movie...I have fond memories of my days at parochial school. The one time in my life that I remember that the the teachers & faculty actually cared about me...My favorite part is the rosary scene near the end of the movie...when she found out that sisters DO in fact feel pain...They're human, too...
GREAT comments and I agree! I spent 8 years at a Catholic grammar school from 1959-1967 and this cherished movie reminds me of those years that I never wanted to end. Maybe that is why this movie is my all-time favorite of any other I have ever seen and I am almost 67!
@@kainosktisis777 You are very welcome and again, thanks for sharing your very interesting reflections. We have a lot in common on our history of attending Catholic grammar schools. Sad that so many today in the media and people mock the nuns in many ways which I always find appalling. Like you said, they are humans, too, with feelings. God bless them all for trying their best to teach and guide us.
@@kainosktisis777 The scene near the end of the movie that you remember fondly is when Sister Liguori dies and it is one of the most touching parts of the film and so well filmed and acted with the lovely background music. Brings so many fans to tears even today. In February, we just lost Marge Redmond who played this Sister and she was 95. And last year, we lost June Harding who played "Rachel" and she was 81. NO Hollywood actress at that time could have played that part better than June and I told her that in a handwritten letter in 2007. And to my utter amazement, she replied back with a lovely handwritten letter in calligraphy-style and I will always treasure hearing from her even more now since she has passed on. My only regret is that I NEVER got a chance to see this beloved movie at a theater, even though I was almost 13 when it was released in 1966. Little did I know what impact the movie would still have on my life 54 years later.
@Doug Celeste It still remains one of my favorite films of all time. And...I kinda wanna watch it right now...again...It brings me back to the innocence of my youth...Something lacking in today’s world... Thank you for your kind words. ☺️🙏🏼😇
2:40 -3:10 This reminds me of a head nun at my old school who was so like that. She knew all the tricks by sneaky students who try to evade her attention to their late arrival at school or try to sneak out of school. She was ubiquitous. With her angry face and arms crossed, she says things like "What time do you call this?" or "Where do you think you are going?"
They don't make semi-innocent comedies like this anymore. I use "scathingly brilliant idea" whenever I get an inspiration. E.g., when roommate and I moved into condo from apartment, we got some furniture from deceased co-worker - he told me I was getting a wardrobe. Turned out to be an oversized old-fashioned video unit. I finally decided to get a curtain rod and attach it to the underside of what probably was a VCR shelf. Viola, I had a hanger to hang my shirts on where the old CRT TV would have gone. I showed it to him, and declared it was a "scathingly brilliant idea"! While he appreciated the idea, he didn't get the reference. But he's 10 years younger, and not Catholic.
By the by, when I was in seminary, we had a junior seminary outside of Chicago, which was donated by some rich guy on his deathbed. Perfect match for the movie setting. I didn't attend junior sem there, but there was an outbuilding used for novitiate, build in much the same style, very gothic, and which might have been called secret passages, tho they weren't really.
Loved this movie, I can relate to it, since starting kindergarten in 1957, we had nuns all through until I finished school. I was lucky nuns were nuns - they had x-ray vision, could smell bad behaviour and on the playground if you saw a nun you’d suddenly breathe in quick say “Sister’s coming!” even if she was fifty feet away! Soon as you saw sister you automatically straightened up and made sure you weren’t doing anything wrong. They knew how to teach alright and you learned respect from them same as from your parents. Ooh, they could be tough, but they were very good teachers.
Funny thing, in college I dated a classmate who told me, " I'm a good French catholic girl, until the lights go out." Loved Diane, hope she's happy and doing well...
"There's no 'Z' in 'brassiere'." If you pardon me for using a quote from "Superman the movie " to help you out. Anyone can make a spelling mistake, including me
I don't believe this. Not less than a year ago this movie was available freely for anyone who cared to watch. Now....It's been taken off of UA-cam. Why? The Fuck?
In the 1960s we were always praying for the coversion of the communists. And we weren't allowed to wear black patent leather shoes because they reflect up. And someone might catch a glimpse of your underwear in the reflection. Even saddle shoes were different. The black part wasnt smooth leather, it was velvety. No reflection. LOL
So sorry you feel that way about Hayley since she is my all-time favorite actress. Did you see any of her movies? And many nuns wore black years ago and some still do today for various reasons.
Whoops! Sorry. I understand why. In the original version Mother Superior mourns the death of as Sister Liguori. Obviously they were companions. That's taboo these days. At least according to the almighty youtube a.k.a. pieceofshit tube.
THUMBS UP for seeing this movie more than 5x
those scathingly brilliant ideas!
this is a fabulous movie--funny, and ultimately very moving. if you're catholic it means twice as much.
You got that right!
Agreed. Growing up it gave me pride in my religion. It's very respectful.

It’s sad to see 😕
I literally live across the street from there now, and you are right. I just learned of this movie today.
Very sorry to hear that.
"Those two...GET THEM!!!" XD LOVE this movie!!!
One of my favorite movies.
One of my favorite movies
I love Rosalind Russel. Anyone who is a fan should see her in What's My Line 1953. she was hysterical
What childhood memories of watching this on a black and white tv screen with my family! Thank you for uploading this!
“From which bubbles forth …” lol
Wow! Rosalind Russell's voice got really deep in the 1960s.
Voices change with age and she always had a husky voice.
I love this movie!!!
Ahhh, memories of Catholic School, Grades 1-8, 1957-1965.....
I was a kid in a San Francisco catholic grade school back in the 70s. Some local channel ran this movie during Christmas time. Though I was a guy, the story deeply resonated with, and the depicted nuns were very similar to the ones that ran Saint Rita's...
Aside from being whimsically funny with plenty of slapstick thrown in, you tend to forget how genuinely moving the story really it.
The "binders" scene is the best part!
Little did we know when Rachel said "Rock Hudson", well, you know.....
No I don’t

"But Reverend Mother, I don't know anything about buying binders!"
Rosalind Russell makes the best mother superior!
Mary Wickes, "What a character."
That was NOT her jumping in the pool. It was a stunt double since she had a fear of water like I still do.
LOVED this movie (and all of Hayley's films)! Most of 'em were made before I was born, but I still loved em and watch 'em to this day. They don't make em like this anymore :(
This was the FIRST movie she made after her Disney career was over but it was also her LAST great movie that she made in my opinion.
wow this is great -- hope someone can upload the whole movie --
I saw Hayley Mills in an interview a few years after this movie was released, turns out our sweet Hayley picked up a cigar lifestyle from doing the cigar scene. She and her then husband often enjoyed an after diner cigar.
Rosalind Russell was one of the all-time great funny actresses. If you don't believe me, watch "The Women." Hysterical.
The best part of the movie was the way June Harding crossed herself.

The beginning is so like my time in old convent schools that were run like an ARMY.
Take off her binder! Take off her binder! 😆😂🤣
Also "Aunt Harriet" from Batman.
Nanananananananana.... Batman!
This movie is based on the autobiography of one of the girls and an astonishing number of the incidents actually happened.
Ida F'ing Lupino, y'all.
The wonderful (and uncredited) Madge Blake, best known as Mrs. Mondello from 'Leave it to Beaver'.
Also..during this time..Madge was playing"Aunt Harriet Cooper"on The "Batman"TV Show.
9:31 Mary Wicks did not know how to swim, they used a double.
Love this old movie.
I Need to find this movie and BUY it😜😛
Looks hilarious
@@taraelizabethdensley9475 it is so incredibly good
My funniest scene- when the girls are buying bras and Hayley chooses an elaborate bustier that makes her look like a wild west saloon girl!
Hayley Mills' stunt double in the chute is a man.
"those two!!"
At sacred heart they wear short shorts
they're french
Best line in the whole movie! Le Sacre Coeur! Viva la France (and Quebec too)!
Funny thing, in college I dated a classmate who told me, " I'm a good French catholic girl, until the lights go out." Loved Diane, hope she's happy and doing well...
Miss Madge Blake as the passenger.
That's Timothy Hutton's dad at 3:12.
Yes and for some strange reason, Jim Hutton was NOT credited! Not sure why. Too bad he died so young.
Jim Hutton was a wonderful actor. Check him out in WHERE THE BOYS ARE...

My favorite was the fire escape !!! Can anyone upload the movie please!!!????
It was on UA-cam years ago but taken off. The sequel is on YT, though it cannot compare to the original.
Doug Celeste Thanks 🙏🏻
I also LOVED that fire escape slide!!! That looked like a lot of fun for the girls.
"Where's the fire?" LOL
It reminds me of thinking it's school's out already.
If I remember correctly wasn't it Mary Wickes (aka Sister Mary Lazarus from Sister Act) who played the Mother Superior?
Rosalind Russell played Mother Superior, but Mary Wickes played one of the nuns. 🙂
@@SFBayAreaGoldenGirl9 thanks for the correction! I've never seen this one myself but I know about it because it was one of my mom's favorites
I love this movie , I’m a good Catholic girl🥰
What were they eating for the meal with the lemon?
Hahahahaha!💕😂😂😂😂😂

Yea it's a funny good movie
MARGE REDMOND (1924 - 2020)

Where's the scene where the old sleeping nun beats the hell out of there, during the fire when mother superior tells her not to run?
Willoows willooowwws. :D
She didn't even take them to the office for smoking or anything
Quiero verla en español, ¡qué pena!

Yes, boarding school
I went to a Catholic school for two years 😂

@kduideo Someone asked "Where are the black nuns"?
@i know it was the 60's.....Yet what does that have to do with black nuns or asians?????
I am not fond of Haley Mills. That brit acient was NERVING. Where were the black nuns???
So sorry you feel that way about Hayley since she is my all-time favorite actress. Did you see any of her movies? And many nuns wore black years ago and some still do today for various reasons.
Ken n Pepper There were not very many black migrants in UK or in other Catholic countries. Black migrants were very rare in Europe in 1960s.
Earth to you..... Most blacks, outside of Louisiana are PROTESTANTS by the vast majority.
