Angels Of Sin (1943)

Rich young Anne-Marie thinks she has found her vocation when she joins a Dominican convent as a novice. The convent specialises in rehabilitating female prisoners, and Anne-Marie becomes especially fascinated with Therese, trying to get her to join the convent to redeem her for her sins - but Therese protests her innocence. However, when released, Therese shoots the man who committed the crime for which she was imprisoned, then joins the convent, where she is reluctant to tell anyone her secret, least of all Anne-Marie. Meanwhile, outside the convent, a police search is widening…

A wealthy young woman, Anne-Marie Lamaury, decides to follow her vocation and becomes a nun in a convent which occupies itself with the rehabilitation of female prisoners. During a prison visit, she meets another young woman, Thérèse, with whom she starts to take an interest. Thérèse resolutely claims that she is innocent and rejects Anne-Marie’s attentions. When she is released from prison, Thérèse kills the man who committed the crime for which she was sentenced. She then seeks sanctuary in Anne-Marie’s convent but is unable to speak about what she has done. Anne-Marie is nonetheless determined to bring about Thérèse’s spiritual transformation, even if she risks alienating herself from her fellow sisters…
