| Black Narcissus | comment |
Black Narcissus is a 1947 film by the British director-writer-producer team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, based on the 1939 novel of the same name by Rumer Godden.A group of Anglican nuns travel to the Palace of Mopu, high in the Himalayas (near Darjeeling). They are there to set up a school and hospital for the local people, only to find themselves increasingly seduced by the sensuality of their surroundings—a converted seraglio — and by the local British agent Mister Dean (David Farrar). Clodagh (Deborah Kerr), a newly promoted Sister Superior, is attempting to forget a failed romance that occurred before she took her vows.Tensions mount as Dean makes an impression on Clodagh, but also attracts Sister Ruth (Kathleen Byron).An 18-year-old Jean Simmons has a non-speaking but still prominent part as Kanchi, a lower-class girl sent to the monastery to be a servant. Veteran character actress Flora Robson has a small role as Sister Philippa, and Indian child star Sabu plays the Young General in one of the few roles he was able to get as an adult.For the 2020 series, see here. | |

Mr. Fanservice | |
| Black Narcissus / int_1b4e322c | comment |
Mr. Fanservice: Mr. Dean, one of only two adult males who ever come calling to the convent, has a peculiar habit of arriving either shirtless, or in khaki shorts, or both. The nuns notice, especially Sisters Ruth and Clodagh. Then there's the Young General, who represents a more "pretty" version of male beauty as opposed to Mr. Dean's rugged manliness, but also draws the attention of increasingly horny nuns. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Sister Ruth is shown aggressively taking a parcel from Joseph, trying to stop him from letting Sister Clodagh see it. Turns out to be a red dress. There are several points where either Sister Ruth or Sister Clodagh ring the palace/convent's bell, juxtaposed with the sheer drop below. The final time the bell rings, Clodagh ends up desperately clinging to the bell rope while Ruth tries to send her over the cliff edge, and falls herself. | |

A tribute to him can be seen in the opening scene when the Mother Superior is reading a letter while facing a window. An image used by Vermeer in some of his most famous paintings. | |

Break the Haughty: Sister Clodagh's pride undergoes a severe battering over the course of the film. By the end, the entire community has collapsed, with one nun dead and another leaving the order, and Sister Clodagh knows that she will not be given such a responsibility again for a very long time, if ever. | |

Adapted Out: In the book after Sister Philippa leaves, she's replaced by a stern Sister Adella - who is horrified at how the nuns have neglected their responsibilities. She's not in the film, and Sister Philippa only intends to be transferred.note It's possible this was to give Sister Philippa more screen time, as she was played by veteran character actress Flora Robson - who was the only big name in the cast at the time besides Sabu. | |

Getting Crap Past the Radar | |
| Black Narcissus / int_4b86a724 | comment |
Getting Crap Past the Radar: This movie is rife with the kind of innuendo the BBFC was not OK with in 1947: The Old General mentions importing plenty of sausages for the nuns to eat. When the nuns first meet Mr Dean, Sister Clodagh says she wants to talk to him on business. He responds "I don't suppose you want to talk to me about anything else", prompting an offended look from Sister Briony. Mr Dean says of the Old General "he too is a superior being", again getting a scandalised look from the nuns. When Mr Dean asks Clodagh to take in Kanchi and the nun is studying the young woman, he watches the pair of them with barely disguised amusement and almost lasciviously asks "You're sure there's no question you're dying to ask me?" practically daring Clodagh to demand whether Kanchi is his lover. She refuses to ask, so the viewer never finds out either way. The Young General mistakenly says he'll study physics "with the physical sister". Sister Clodagh says of her former beau Conn "I had already shown that I loved him", which seems to imply that they had premarital sex. As she is Irish, it's possible Clodagh fled the Magdalene Laundries where she could have been sent as punishment (or worse yet, been sent there anyway and became a nun that way). | |

Downer Ending: The convent community fails. Sister Ruth is rejected by Mr Dean, tries to kill Sister Clodagh, and accidentally falls to her death, leaving Clodagh and Dean feeling responsible for inadvertently causing the tragedy. The nuns leave with the first rains, with Clodagh knowing that she won't be given such a position of responsibility again for a long time, if at all. And she and Dean, who've developed some level of feelings for each other, will likely never see each other again. | |

The Casanova: This is Mr. Dean's local reputation, although it's not clear how much he's earned it. While he baits and teases Sister Clodagh and is absentmindedly kind to Sister Ruth, there doesn't seem to be any real amorous intent behind it. On the other hand, it's possible that there was some sort of physical relationship between him and Kanchi, before he dumps her on the nuns to stop her pestering him. | |

When She Smiles | |
| Black Narcissus / int_72c8b35c | comment |
When She Smiles: When talking about Sister Briony's (bad!) coffee, Sister Clodagh lets loose with a cheeky grin. It's one of the few times she smiles in the movie (outside of her flashbacks). It also marks the start of something of a friendship between Clodagh and Mr Dean. | |

Because You Were Nice to Me: Sister Ruth's fascination with Mr Dean stems from him being nice to her when he first meets her in the convent, praising her for saving a patient who was bleeding out while Clodagh scolded her. She tells him he was the only one who was ever kind to her. | |

The Silent Bob: Kanchi has no dialogue but expresses her sensuality non-verbally. Like when she's dancing by herself in the convent. Or when the Young General puts a stop to her whipping, and she responds by approaching him on her knees. It's not at all surprising when a scene shortly thereafter reveals that the Young General and Kanchi have run away together. | |

Foreshadowing | |

Foreshadowing: Mr. Dean tells the sisters to be extremely careful about which patients to accept, as the villagers will react badly if anything goes wrong. Sister Honey later tries and fails to treat a terminally ill baby, precipitating the convent's failure. One of Sister Ruth's earlier scenes has her entering a room with her white habit stained red with blood. This foreshadows that she'll abandon her vows, don a red dress and trying to murder Sister Clodagh to have Mr Dean for herself. | |

Artistic License – Religion | |
| Black Narcissus / int_a27c0c2c | comment |
Artistic License – Religion: Sister Clodagh is still called Clodagh in the flashbacks to her pre-convent life. Nuns almost always take a new name when first taking their vows (in the last fifty years or so, this rule has relaxed depending on the religious order, but at the time of the film and book it was de rigeur to do so). Of course, since the flashbacks are framed from her subjective impression, and are done in a very stylized manner (as noted by Scorsese and Powell on the Criterion commentary), it might be that Clodagh has retrofitted her post-vocational name back to her pre-vocation life. In the miniseries she reveals to Mr. Dean that her name was originally Katherine as the nuns leave. The original American release had a title card referring to the nuns as Anglicans. They're part of the Servants of Mary, which is a Roman Catholic order. This may have been necessary by the Catholic Legion of Decency protesting against the movie being shown otherwise. | |

Fan Disservice: Done very stealthily with Kathleen Byron, one of the most beautiful women in the history of cinema. First she's given a pale face, chapped lips and red-rimmed eyes; then over time they make her the only character in the film who's visibly sweaty; then, as she abandons the veil and starts to wear make-up, she clearly has bad skin under the makeup on her forehead; until by the end she pretty much looks like an actual corpse. | |

Redhead In Green: Clodagh in the flashbacks is usually wearing green, when we can see her red hair loose and free. In a Christmas flashback, she wears a green scarf over her hair and when she gets ready for a date with Conn, she's wearing a pale green evening gown. Her grandmother also presents her with some emeralds. This is averted with the redhead Sister Ruth, who dons a red dress for the finale. | |

Improbable Age: Deconstructed. Sister Clodagh is the relatively young sister superior - if she's the same age as her actress Deborah Kerr, she's twenty-five. Multiple characters react with surprise that she's in charge, and the convent eventually falls apart. While it's more to do with the environment, it's likely an older and more responsible nun would be able to keep things running. | |
