Trivia
The French sister Suzanne is played by Pauline Etienne, who was born in Belgium. In Au risque de se perdre (1959), a similar movie based on the real life story of a Belgian nun who also wants to leave her convent, Sister Luke is played by Audrey Hepburn who was also born in Belgium.

Goofs
Mad nun Sister Bénédicte pronounces the Latin sentence "Noli me tangere" ('Touch me not', John 20:17) with the reconstructed Classical Latin pronunciation, which was not used by the Catholic Church those days.

Ridiculously spartan

From the first few minutes the movie seems too plain and boring. There are only two scenes which take up too much time and do not explain anything completely. The plot is silly, the music is unsatisfying. Don't recommend this for watching to anyone.
