Oh man, this scene always gets to me - and it's a bit of a surprise because for most of the movie, the subject matter is pretty light and humorous, but there are several unexepected and thoroughly moving sections placed along the way. Most of this is due to Rosalind Russell's fantastic performance as the Reverend Mother of the St. Francis School for Girls.
In this scene, Sister Lugori, one of the nuns who was a vibrant woman full of spunk and beloved by all the students, suddenly dies. The young rebel of the school, Mary (Hayley Mills), is coming to pay her respects and happens upon Reverend Mother's emotional farewell to her dear friend. It's the first time Mary really sees the Mother as a real person with depth and feeling. The scene is also shot flawlessly by director Ida Lupino (who will also make an appearance in a later "scene project" entry).
