Episode Summary

EDIT

AIRED: 9/7/67

Sister Bertrille arrives at Convent San Tanco in Puerto Rico, where the constant swirling winds around the convent give her the power to fly. This news is greeted with alarm by the strict Mother Superior, and with curiosity and amusement by her fellow nuns Sister Jacqueline, who becomes Sister Bertrille's mentor, and Sister Sixto, a nun who continually fights a losing battle with the English language. While in Puerto Rico she also meets Carlos Ramirez, a wealthy playboy bachelor.moreless

Not impressed at all.

1.0

By d_parker, Jun 05, 2006

I thought this show would be horrible and well, it was but not in the way I thought.

The acting and such was fine but it was so not funny or entertaining. I was prepared to give it a chance but 10 minutes into I was looking at the clock. I didn\'t laugh once.

The idea of Fields\' character being the rebel nun in a covenant is boring and nothing new.

The idea that she can fly or float or whatever is just a cheap gimmick. But whereas My Favourite Martian used Walston\'s character as a gimmick and to great effect, here it\'s just, yeah, so what, she can fly big deal.

It amazes me that this show ran for 3 seasons. I guess God exists because I can\'t see how a show like this could stand on its own and last so long.moreless

ADD NOTES
- Vito Scotti played the role of Captain Domenic Lopez in this pilot episode but for the rest of the series he played Captain Fomento.
  EDIT SHARE
- The first episode has a different opening sequence than the rest of the series. It comes after an introduction instead of coming at the very beginning, the music is a little slower and less lively, and it shows Sister Bertrille, Sister Sixto and Sister Jaqueline walking to the convent instead of showing Sister Bertrille flying.
  EDIT SHARE
- The first episode is actually an hour long instead of the typical half-hour.
  EDIT SHARE
- The series, and particularly this two-part episode, was based on the book The Fifteenth Pelican by Tere Ríos.
