Anecdotes
This movie is loosely based on the true story of Soeur Sourire, who had a #1 pop hit in America with "Dominique" in 1963. Unfortunately, the nun was a one-hit wonder whose life did not continue happily after her chart success. After leaving the church for a full-time music career, she ran into heavy financial problems and eventually took her own life in Belgium in 1985.

Gaffes
When Sister Ann and several other convent members perform on The Ed Sullivan Show, the women are forbidden to wear stage makeup - even though all of them have been sporting obvious foundation, blush, lipstick, mascara and even false eyelashes during rest of movie.

An Upbeat Take on Reality

Hot on the heels of the real French musical sensation Soeur Sourire, hyped internationally as The Singing Nun, comes this Hollywood version of her life story, with none other than Debbie Reynolds in the lead role singing "Dominique." Hollywood greats Greer Garson, Agnes Moorehead, and Ricardo Montalban make this movie a treat to watch, but after you watch it, check out the real Singing Nun on YouTube. Her story is not so sweet. ---from Musicals on the Silver Screen, American Library Association, 2013
