Conspiracy of Hearts (1960)
Nuns and Kids but definitely not The Sound of Music
5 May 2010 - 8 out of 8 users found this review helpful.
Vastly under-rated and unknown film but definitely worth watching even if, like me, you have a tendency towards the cynical. Italian nuns smuggle Jewish children out out of German run concentration camps from Italy in World War II. The nuns' work causes conflict within their local church and their community and at first not even all of their own agree that what they are doing is for the best. I saw this film as a child myself and was struck and moved by it but wasn't sure why, only as an adult did I realise that it represented all that was best (and worst) in human nature. Channel Four In the UK shows it regularly so if you can can catch it please do. Otherwise rent or buy!
