The Flying Nun | Sister Bertrille Takes Her First Flight! | Classic TV Rewind

Fresh off the boat, Sister Bertrille (Sally Bertrille) discovers that if the wind blows, she can fly, causing quite a shock in the convent!
From Season 1, Episode 1 'The Flying Nun' - Located atop a hill in old San Juan, Puerto Rico, the Convent San Tanco is populated by, among others, the stern and traditional Reverend Mother Superior Placido, straightforward Sister Jacqueline, English-challenged Sister Sixto who is always mixing her English slang around, young innocent novice Sister Ana, Sister Teresa and Sister Marguerita. The convent is an old, beautiful building but is showing its age and is need of major repairs - as is everything the sisters own - money for which the sisters do not have. Into their world enters Sister Bertrille, a new novice from New York, who is to teach kindergarten. Sister Bertrille is an ex-surfer girl hippie with tons of enthusiasm who will go to any means to achieve what she wants and what she thinks the convent needs. She quickly learns how to fly by raising and turning her head and the associated cornette. But those that do not see her fly are the men of the restricted military base into which she accidentally flies. It takes some convincing for them to believe she's not a spy. But the person who may need even more convincing is the Reverend Mother, who must decide what to do with her new flying novice.

I'm 57. So I was only a child when this show first aired. But I most definitely remember watching reruns all throughout my 70s youth. And loved it. Seeing this now I feel terribly melancholy - in a good way... Just wished we could have built on those great times vs the insanity of today.

Sally field hated doing this show. She enjoyed Gidget much more.
