as the title suggests, it is about the life of a Religious. There are various characters in the screenplay, reflecting differing attitudes within the religious order. I assume they are missionary sisters who work, among other places, in the Belgian Congo. I never did see the film. In the conclusion, the lead character quits the convent. Other films dealing with the female religious life include Black Narcissus- it should be carefully understood these were Anglican nuns, not RC., The trouble with angels- which was almost a situation comedy set in a convent, and in part, others such as The Sound of Music. almost entirely convent-oriented was Agnes of God, which was based in part on the the Rochester incident of the late 70"s. That"s a sampler.

What is Audrey Hepburn most popular movie?

Depending on how one defines "famous", Audrey Hepburn won the Oscar/Academy Award as Best Actress in a Leading Role for the movie, Roman Holiday. The movie was extremely popular, and actually won 3 Oscars, altogether.Audrey Hepburn has been tag-lined or synonymous with several wonderful movies, all of which are considered "classics", as her success and the success of each of the following movies, are interdependent.Roman Holiday was the first of her string of successful and "famous" movies. Winning Audrey an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role, and Best Writing Motion Picture Story, as well as, Edith Head for Best Costume Design. The Oscar for Best Writing was actually a subject of scandal and controversy, as the Oscar was originally given to Ian McKellan Hunter, who actually "fronted" for the real writer, Dalton Trumbo. Trumbo was "blacklisted" in Hollywood, and removed from the movie credits. The Oscar was posthumously presented to Trumbo's widow on May 10th, 1993, after the Academy decided to correct the records.Sabrina is also one of Audrey's more famous movies, made the year after Roman Holiday. It was very popular, and has been remade. Sabrina was nominated for 7 Oscars, and won 1, in 1954.Funny Face is another classic Audrey Hepburn film, which was well received but not quite as popular as Roman Holiday, and Sabrina. Funny Face was nominated for 4 Oscars in 1957.The Nun's Story garnered Audrey's 3 nomination for an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role, and was nominated for 8 Oscars, altogether. The movie was popular, and compellingly touching, and moving.Breakfast at Tiffany's - Audrey and the movie introduced at least 5 new cliches into the media, which are still associated with Audrey and the title (book and movie), today. Audrey plays Holly, a pretty New York socialite with a very quirky lifestyle, who gives wild cocktail parties, which she hosts wearing her simple black "cocktail" dress, and lives in New York city's Upper East Side.Audrey's next 3 films, made in the mid 60's were all enormously popular, and all nominated for Oscars.Charade and Wait Until Dark - were classic thrillers in which Audrey demonstrated her versatile acting abilities when playing "victims" in both films, and keeping the viewer on the edge of their seats, the whole way through.My fair Lady - was another classic successfully written for film but borrowed from the stage, based on George Bernard Shaw's play "Pygmalion: A Romance in Five Acts". This movie too was very popular, and won 8 Oscars! Surprisingly, Audrey was not nominated for an Oscar for her Leading role as Eliza Doolittle.Wait Until Dark was Audrey's last well known movie, which she made in 1967. Audrey did not make another movie for 9 years. In 1976, she made Robin and Marion, and only 4 other movies between 1976 and 1989.

What is a Roman Catholic sister called?

A nun.Another answerTechnically, she is called a 'sister'. 'Nun' is a special sort of sister belonging to a particular order. Secular usage has made the two terms seem the same, but within the Church, there is a distinction. All nuns are sisters, but not all sisters are nuns. Officially, she is called a "sister". Nun is a special sort of sister belonging to a cloister, abbey or monastery, as they all belong, not to an order, but to a religious congregation. Maybe "The Nun Story" movie explains the widespread confusion although I believe Audrey Hepburn was a "cloistered nun". They the "Sister Act" film reinforced that duplicity as Whoopy Goldberg wore the habit of a Sister of St. Joseph who lived in a ... nunnery!
