Anchorite

anchorite







Y

D



–noun 

a person who has retired to a solitary place for a life of religious seclusion; hermit. 



Also, anchoret.





　

One of the consistent gratifications is the cast. In addition to Edith Evans as the Mother Superior, who might have been a Renaissance prelate, there is Peggy Ashcroft, another convent superior, but less the dignitary, more the anchorite. Mildred Dunnock is a gentle, maiden aunt of a nun; Patricia Collinge, a gossipy cousin. 



Peter Finch and Dean Jagger are the only males in the cast of any stature. 



Finch, as an intellient, attractive agnostic, [conveys] a romantic [at]tachment for Hepburn, but in terms that can give no offense. Dagger is Hepburn's perturbed loving father but contributes a valuable facet on the story.
