Ken - I thought it was Peggy Wood as she played the part of the Mother Superior and she is a singer, so I checked thru Google - you are right - Peggy Wood "mouthed" the words but it was dubbed by Margery McKay.

Oslo Dutch - it definitley was not Patricia Rutledge - obviously you have never heard her sing on the tv show Keeping Up Appearances - she sounds like a cat screaming!

Not so - her 'bad singing' on Keeping Up Appearances was part of the act .... she is a well known and appreciated musical actress - see original link to her career details.

All pretensions, lower class lineage, in your face classism, and caters to snobbery.

I will be interested to see, after all is said and done, and the ship is in place, how many of the naysayers on this board will be jostling for passage on the newest Cunarder?
