Trivia
Director William A. Graham said in an interview years after the making of this film that Elvis Presley was the nicest man he had ever met.

Goofs
The story supposedly takes place in New York City but it was filmed at Universal Studios in California. When the nuns are standing outside their apartment building in what is supposed to be New York City there is a car parked close to them that obviously has California plates on it, revealing the fact that the movie was actually filmed in California.

Quotes
Dr. John Carpenter: [after she reveals herself to be a nun, Dr. Carpenter is shocked] You've got to be kiddin'.
Dr. John Carpenter: I'm a member of the Order of the Little Sisters of Mary. We were only going to be here for two months. John, please say something.
Dr. John Carpenter: I'll be damned.

Watch to the end.

This movie is dated in a lot of ways, and not so dated in others. The fact that it was made at the end of the 60's comes out not only in the topics, but the way the movie was made, using modern (for the time--but maybe outdated for movies now) sets, filming techniques, and even story lines. Still, we see here that Elvis was an outstanding actor. It was not hard to think he was anything other than the character he played in this movie. I also have to add that he looks extremely cool in this movie!

The part that really shines in this movie is the last 20 minutes. The complicated love between Elvis' and Mary Tyler Moore's characters is NOT outdated at all. This part of the movie is played out really well. On top of this, finding out the destinies of the other sisters will leave us as viewers with a lasting impression.
