Change of Habit

1969 · 93 min

A gentle, earnest drama with a romantic heart, mixing social issues and faith into an easy, tuneful watch.

Tagline: Could he change her life, could she forget her vows and follow her heart...
Overview: Dr. John Carpenter takes the job of running a health center in a low-income district. He enlists three women to help out who — unbeknownst to him — are actually nuns in street clothes. The church wants to improve the neighborhood but fears that nuns in full habit would be poorly received. Unaware of her unavailability, John falls for Sister Michelle, serenading her with his guitar — which, luckily for him, effectively wears away at her religious resolve.
How it feels: Earnest, melancholic, romantic and warm. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Faith, love, class, identity
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
