While Ethel Merman is believed to have said that when she's working on a Broadway musical she has to "live like a [f'ing] nun", I somehow don't see her playing one, not the one in "Lillies of the Field". Maybe if the premise of the later "Sister Act" were being written for her, but she'd really be kind of like a fish out of water with her patented "take charge loudly" manner.
