Jane Fonda portrays Dr. Livingston, a psychiatrist who is called in as part of the investigation when a dead infant is found at a convent. The child is found to belong to solemn, naive Sister Agnes (Meg Tilly), who offers little in the information about who the father is or why she committed the crime. The Mother Superior (Anne Bancroft) is willing to help in the investigation anyway she can, but when the idea of a virgin birth is suggested, the agnostic Dr. Livingston finds herself in a heated dialogue pitting faith against science. The screenplay was written by the author of the original stage play, John Pielmeier. Academy Award Nominations: 3, including Best Actress--Anne Bancroft.
