about the use of mono audio; I have chosen 96 kbps mp3, which is more
than sufficient when using a mono audio source.

Plot Summary : A visually stunning and dramatically challenging
story about a group of Angelican nuns attempting
to establish a mission in a remote Himalayan
outpost. Exposed to extremes of weather, illness
and suspicious locals, temptation begins to
threaten their vocation and Sister Ruth becomes
unhinged over her desires for Mr Dean and her
jealousy of Sister Clodagh
- (DVD Cover)
Archers pairing Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger
once again deliberately courted controversy and censorship
with their 1947 adaptation of Rumer Godden's novel Black
Narcissus. Set in the fantastic Palace of Mopu, which
faces a five-mile-high mountain in the Himalayas, comes a
band of nuns to open a Anglican school and hospital in a
one-time bordello. The unceasing wind saps their vitality,
their faith is also sorely tested by the culture clash
and carnal desires. Sister Clodagh (Deborah Kerr) has to seek
help from cynical British government agent Mr. Dean (David
Farrar), the owner's agent. From that moment orderly conversion
goes forward. A chapel, is built, a lovely garden springs from
the wilderness; school rooms and a dispensary are added. Mr. Dean
persuades Sister Clodagh to look after a beautiful native
Indian girl, Kanchi (Jean Simmons), who is well aware of her own
charms; next, the young General Dilip Rai (Sabu) begs for lessons.
Christmas finds the convent's work prospering. But Sister Clodagh is
perturbed. Sister Honey is giving the native children too much love
and attention. Sister Philippa, oldest and wisest of the nuns, finds
her faith waning. Sister Ruth must be warned that she is too
interested in handsome Mr. Dean. And the young general, with his
jewels and "Black Narcissus" perfume, is upsetting the calm of
the convent by courting Kanchi. Sister Briony is mindful of Mr.
Dean's advice not to treat children who are seriously ill in case
they die. But Sister Honey's love for the young overcomes her
sense of duty, and secretly she treats a baby that Sister Briony
has turned away. When it dies, the villagers think she has killed it.
Then, one night, Ruth creeps out of the palace to Mr. Dean's bungalow.
He insists on her returning to the convent. Next morning, Sister
Clodagh is ringing the angelus when a wet hand possessed with the
strength of madness reaches over her shoulder to grip her throat.
For a moment the two women struggle on the parapet before Ruth falls
screaming to her death. Sister Clodagh decides to go back to Calcutta
with the other nuns, and for the first time she feels a sense of
spiritual humility.
The film film won Oscar's for best cinematography by Jack Cardiff and
best art direction by Alfred Junge.
