It starred Sally Field as Sister Bertrille. The series <br />originally ran on ABC from September 7, 1967, to April 3, 1970, <br />producing 82 episodes, including a one-hour pilot episode.<br /><br />Developed by Bernard Slade, the series centered on the adventures <br />of a community of nuns in the Convent San Tanco in San Juan, Puerto <br />Rico. The comic elements of the storyline were provided by the <br />flying ability of a novice nun, Sister Bertrille.<br /><br />In the hour-long series pilot, Chicago native Elsie Ethrington <br />arrives in San Juan from New York City after her arrest for having<br /> been involved in a protest; she then adopts the name of Sister<br /> Bertrille. It is also later learned (in the episode "My Sister, <br />The Sister") that Sister Bertrille comes from a family of physicians,<br /> and that she is the only member of that family who did not follow in<br /> their footsteps. She instead became a nun, joining the Convento San <br />Tanco, after being impressed by the missionary work of her aunt, and<br /> broke up with her boyfriend of eight months, a toy salesman.
