Synopsis

Plagued by uncertainties and worldly desires, five Protestant missionary nuns, led by Deborah Kerr's Sister Clodagh, struggle to establish a school in the desolate Himalayas. All the elements of cinematic arts are perfectly fused in Powell and Pressburger's fascinating study of the age-old conflict between the spirit and the flesh, set against the grandeur of the snowcapped peaks of Kanchenjunga. Michael Powell/Emeric Pressburger--Great Britain--1947--100 mins.

Tibetan alpenhornn, or whatever they are, blasting away at the beginning of the film get your attention. One of the most beautivul films ever made, technicolor's harsh colors are subdued, become vibrant like a Maxfield Parrish painting, a beauty that almost overwhelms the story.
