Change of Habit

"Could he change her life, could she forget her vows and follow her heart..."

Crime, Drama, Music

Dr. John Carpenter takes the job of running a health center in a low-income district. He enlists three women to help out who — unbeknownst to him — are actually nuns in street clothes. The church wants to improve the neighborhood but fears that nuns in full habit would not be well received. Unaware of her unavailability, John falls for Sister Michelle, serenading her with his guitar — which, luckily for him, effectively wears away at her religious resolve.

Plot

In an uncommon dramatic role, Elvis plays Dr. John Carpenter, an inner-city doctor working at a free clinic. Mary Tyler Moor plays a nurse and a nun sent by the Catholic Action Committee with two others dressed as nurses to help him. How can they make a difference in this hostile world?
