One of the consistent gratifications is the cast. In addition to Edith Evans as the Mother Superior, who might have been a Renaissance prelate, there is Peggy Ashcroft, another convent superior, but less the dignitary, more the anchorite. Mildred Dunnock is a gentle, maiden aunt of a nun; Patricia Collinge, a gossipy cousin. 

Peter Finch and Dean Jagger are the only males in the cast of any stature
