Synopsis:
The Divine Sister is an outrageous comic homage to nearly
every Hollywood film involving nuns. Evoking such films as
The Song of Bernadette, The Bells of St. Mary’s, The Singing
Nun and Agnes of God, The Divine Sister tells the story of
St. Veronica’s indomitable Mother Superior who is determined
to build a new school for her Pittsburgh convent. Along the
way, she has to deal with a young postulant who is
experiencing “visions,” sexual hysteria among her nuns, a
sensitive schoolboy in need of mentoring, a mysterious nun
visiting from the Mother House in Berlin, and a former
suitor intent on luring her away from her vows. This madcap
trip through Hollywood religiosity evokes the wildly comic
but affectionately observed theatrical style of the creator
of Die, Mommie, Die! and Psycho Beach Party.
