Souther decides to put Deloris into witness protection until the trial and takes her to St. Eddie Souther (Bill Nunn) asks her to testify against Vince and his men. Deloris manages to escape them and makes it to the local police station where Lt. Vince sends his henchmen Joey (Robert Miranda) and Willy (Richard Portnow) to catch her and kill her if need be. When Deloris accidentally sees Vince executing his chauffeur, she bolts before she is killed too. The club is run by mobster Vince LaRocca (Harvey Keitel), a married man that she’s sleeping with but can’t get him to leave his wife. The flashback informs Deloris’ feelings about the church years later now that she is a lounge singer known as Deloris Van Cartier (Whoopi Goldberg) who sings in a mob nightclub in Reno, Nevada. The movie starts with a flashback to the childhood of Doloris Wilson when she attended catholic school and was punished for trying to make the class laugh and disobeying the rules. Sister Act also allowed Whoopi to show off her singing skills and combined with a great supporting cast that included the arch Maggie Smith, a great soundtrack that mixes old Motown hits with gospel songs, and you have all of the ingredients needed for the massive hit it ended up becoming which also spawned an inferior sequel. I think Sister Act ended up being the best vehicle to show her range as it allows her sassy comedy to run wild in an environment that gives it even more opportunities for more humor.
Whoopi Goldberg has had a couple of movies that have showcased her talents like Ghost and Sister Act and many that haven’t. The casts include Dame Maggie Smith, James Coburn, Kathy Najimy, Michael Jeter, Harvey Keitel, Lauryn Hill, and more.įilm Sister Act: Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit: In the side-splitting sequel, Whoopi is back for another hilarious adventure as Sister Mary Clarence spreads the gift of music and the power of laughter at an inner-city school. Academy Award-winning actress Whoopi Goldberg stars as a sassy lounge singer forced to hide from the mob in the last place anyone would ever look for her – a convent.
