The Flying Nun

The Flying Nun is a sitcom which ran on ABC from 1967 to 1970. It starred Sally Field as Sister Bertrille, a novice at a Puerto Rican convent who, when the wind is right, finds she can fly. It was one of the many wacky concept TV shows of the sixties, including Bewitched and My Mother the Car.
