Conspiracy of Hearts (1960)
Director: Ralph Thomas
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
If you want to know what the ultimately synthetic box-office film would look like, then try this weepie. It contains calculated doses of the three magic ingredients guaranteed to gladden all nice old ladies: nuns, animals and children. In fact, it's got Catholic nuns saving Jewish children from naughty Germans. The film conforms to Lawrence's definition of sentimentality as 'working out on yourself feelings you haven't really got'.Author: DP
