Two-time Academy Award®-winner Sally Field (Best Actress in a Leading Role - 1984, Places in the Heart, 1979, Norma Rae), flies in and out of trouble as Sister Bertrille in this classic and timeless series.

From being mistaken for enemy aircraft to having a pelican fall in love with her to disrupting a meeting of mobsters, Sister Bertrille constantly manages to find herself in precarious and hilarious situations.Episodes1.
