Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Silvia Pinal was Mexico's biggest female star; this nun role came right after her iconic Viridiana controversy, making it pointed career commentary.

Trivia

Director René Cardona Jr. shot this in three weeks using the same convent set from his father's 1959 religious films—pure family production recycling.
