At the other end of the spectrum of stereotypes are singing nuns, famously depicted in Sister Act (1992). In contrast, Debbie Reynolds’s Sister Ann in The Singing Nun (1966) is modelled on the Belgian Sister Luc Gabriel, whose hit single ‘Dominique’ outsold Elvis Presley. (Understandably there was no sequel telling the story of the singing nun after she left her convent: she died in an apparent suicide pact with her female lover.) Infected by a spirit of geriatric mischief, the nuns jive to pop music, Sister Act-style. In the end, Holy Days isn’t so much a road trip as an ego trip for this annoying woman.
