Interwoven with this peculiar recital of life in a religious community is a slight story of the youthful scion of the native ruler, who visits the convent regularly to study wlta the much younger native children. All dressed up like a rajah, with ropes of pearls and bushels of emeralds hung around on his embroidered coats, he further disturbs the convent by dousing himself with a perfume called Black Narcissus. The perfume is mentioned only once, which seems hardly a reason for calling the whble film "Black Narcissus." This young scion runs off with a native girl the sisters are trying to educate. Then the sisters pack up and go home. Of the actors, It is only fair to say for Deborah Kerr that the habiliments of a nun are of little aid in putting across a vivid film personality.
