Mary (Hayley Mills) and her friend, Rachel (June Harding), are new students at St. Francis Academy, a boarding school run by the iron fist of Mother Superior (Rosalind Russell). The immature teens grow bored and begin playing pranks on both the unsuspecting nuns and their unpleasant classmates, becoming a constant thorn in Mother Superior's side. However, as the years pass, Mary and Rachel slowly mature and begin to see the nuns in a different light.

Bosley Crowther New York Times May 9, 2005
It has the quality of hit-or-miss contrivance rather than homely, schoolgirl truth. Go to Full Review
Nell Minow Movie Mom Jul 16, 2004
4/5
Silly fluff with top-notch performers. No one else could say "scathingly brilliant" with as much scathing brilliance as Hayley Mills, and Russell is magnificently wry as Mother Superior. Go to Full Review
Moira Walsh America Magazine Dec 31, 2019
It is frighteningly easy to get nuns all wrong on the screen and terribly difficult to do them justice, especially today when their proper identity is being so hotly debated inside as well as outside convents. Go to Full Review
Eve Tushnet Patheos Sep 19, 2019
An essentially charming confection. Go to Full Review
Sergio Benítez Espinof Aug 23, 2019
