Loretta was always effective as a nun as shown in her 1949 Oscar nominated performance in "Come to the Stable," 2 years after her surprise win for "The Farmer's Daughter."
Wonderful in showing her deep devotion, the sister plays a nurse-nun at a Catholic hospital who comes upon a very difficult patient, Claude Atkins, terribly injured in a truck crash and who very well may lose his sight.
Atkins is absolutely irascible, cantankerous, obnoxious and plenty to deal with, but our Sister finds a way to calm him and in time he comes to respect her NOT knowing that she is also a nun.
When he does find out, he throws Sister Ann out of the room, but she comes up with a clever ploy. A nurse's aide, lonely since her family moved away, is introduced to him when his bandages are removed.
