WHITE SISTER, never certain whether to be a farce or a tearjerker, finally settles for being just absurd. Sophia Loren appears as the most ravishing nun in Eu rope; she gave her life to mother church after her boyfriend got deep-fried in an oil fire. She ministers to the sick and the infirm as head of an Italian hospital, which is riddled with both political strife and human tragedy.

Lenny passes the test, which scholars have discovered was sometimes required of clerical novices in the Middle Ages, who had to spend a night in the same bed with an unclad nun and resist all temptations in order to prove their piety.
