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.
