The Singing Nun Story

I know about the Debbie Reynolds version and the French version but why hasn't there been an English language version. I mean the real story. The clips I've seen of Sister Smile look great (like her imitating Elvis in a class full of children) but it's hard to find. I do remember how popular her song was just after the JFK murder and just before the birth of Beatlemania. Is the true tragic story being suppressed by the Catholic church?

Why don't you explain the "true and dark" parts suppressed by the Catholic church?

I don't make movies but if I did, this would be one I'd consider. People love JFK and the Beatles. Such a film would be a nice tribute to the rainbow bridge between them.
