Veteran film and Broadway star Miriam Hopkins appears as Gloria Davenport, a former movie queen who has taken her vows and reemerged as Sister Adelaide. Hoping to raise money for Convent San Tanco, Sr. Adelaide stages a benefit screening of one of her old silent movies. Unfortunately, the "politically incorrect" content of the film sparks a major crisis, which only Sr. Bertrille can solve. First broadcast on November 26, 1969, "Bertrille and the Silent Flicks" was scripted by Michael Morris, from a story by Leo Rifkin. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
