She's at her most daemonic in Black Narcissus. It's the most sexually pent-up, even sadistic, nun on film, a far cry from Audrey Hepburn's devotion & placidity in The Nun's Story.



There are some weird "readings" of Black Narcissus, including one where Sister Clodagh is in love with Sister Ruth, & that's what sets off Sister Ruth's hysteria.
