    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Paul Rudnick was writing the screenplay, Bette Midler (who was attached to star at the time) suggested he go to a real-life convent to do research. He went to stay in the Regina Laudis Abbey in Bethlehem, Connecticut. The Prioress, Mother Dolores Hart, O.S.B., had been an actress, singer, and dancer, appearing in movies including Kitara kainalossa (1958) and Missä pojat, siellä tytöt (1960). Mother Hart is still the only known nun to be a voting member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and she and her fellow nuns enjoy watching her Academy screeners every year.
    • Goofs
      After Deloris witnesses the murder, she flees to the Reno PD and explains to the detective everything that Vince and his henchmen said to each other and to the victim right before the trigger was pulled, even describing the scene visually. However, when Deloris walked in on the murder, she actually opened the door a fraction of a second before the trigger was pulled, and had been talking to herself until the moment she turned the doorknob, so there is no way she could have heard or seen the preceding conversation that she reported to the police.
    • Quotes

      Deloris: [prays] Bless us, oh Lord, for these Thy gifts which we are about to receive. And yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of no food, I will fear no hunger. We want you to give us this day, our daily bread. And to the republic for which it stands, and by the power invested in me, I pronounce us ready to eat. Amen.

    • Crazy credits
      Newspaper and magazine clippings of the nun choir.
    • Alternate versions
      TBS broadcasts overdub a quick feedback-like squeal sound during the opening musical number to obscure an obscenity, when Whoopi Goldberg's character inserts the comment "You don't give a s--t" as the song "Heat Wave" ends.
