Aldrich's film endures not because it's an example of bad, pre-Stonewall homo images but because of its sly way of celebrating dykes. Though she has lost both her girlfriend and her job, George is the only character who has not compromised herself or exploited others. Sister George may be the first movie in which an alcoholic, unrepentant butch who molests nuns is redeemed by her unwavering commitment to her sexuality.

It contains the most erotic sequence I have ever seen in an otherwise artistically respectable, responsible, distanced production. For once, the audience is not punished for its erotic expectations. Not only do we participate in the seduction of an attractive woman but Aldrich's very formal sequencing of camera setups establishes the unattractive seductress as the surrogate for our sensual curiosity.
