The more I watch this film the higher it rises on my list of favourite Deborah films.
1-2) Sister Clodagh fishing
3-5) Sister Clodagh remembering Christmas
A few other scenes of her remembering her past were also cut from the film due to objections from the Legion of Decency. ———————————————————————

Deborah in Black Narcissus. I love the flashback sequences in this film. There are actually more scenes featuring her previous life and her memories but they were cut by the Legion of Decency. General Film Distributors and Universal International. ——————————————————————

Tonight watching "The Sea Chase" for the first time. Came across this movie when looking through Tab Hunter's filmography. Tab, who sadly passed away earlier this week, was an actor I always knew and read about, but had never seen any of his films. This will not only mark my first film with him, but also my first film with John Wayne. I'm intrigued to see John who had a very American image play a German in this film.

My 11th movie of 1947, and what a film! Black Narcissus, another fantastic Powell & Press burger masterpiece. My brief synopsis is that it's an erotica thriller about nuns, but that sounds campy and sells the movie short. Deborah Kerr leads a group of nuns to the Himalayas where they're tested to their core and show all the human emotions.
This is possibly the most visually beautiful movie I've ever seen. The acting is superb, especially Deborah Kerr. With just a slight smile or quiver of her chin she shows unbelievable range. Kathleen Byron as the unhinged Sister Ruth is dynamite. Flora Robson (Sister Philippa) has one heartbreaking scene, and David Farrar is excellent as a world weary British agent. Look for Jean Simmons in a very sexy early role.
This is a must see, and the climactic scene could be cut out and put in a modern movie. One of my new favorite films!
Here is Deborah looking absolutely stunning in some publicity/film stills from today’s featured film “Black Narcissus” (1947). ———————————————————————

BLACK NARCISSUS (1947)
Probably my favorite film of all time. It’s mystical forbidden atmosphere of the Himalayas, all invented on a Pinewood Stage in London - dazzlingly photographed in Technicolor by Jack Cardiff... so much can be said about this film, but I’ll let the quote from the Criterion Collection DVD booklet do it for me... #blacknarcissus #powellandpressburger #powellandpressburgersblacknarcissus #rumergodden #deborahkerr #florarobson #kathleenbyron #davidfarrar #sabu #jackcardiff #technicolor #brianeasdale #criterioncollection
