Though not all of Elvis's movies are good, this is one of my favorites. You get to see him in a totally different kind of character. And it's nice to see him have to work hard to get the girl.Movie Review: Best of all Elvis Films

Summary: 4 Stars
Ending his days in Hollywood with the type of dramatic role he always craved, Elvis gives an ironic twist to his movie career. Though it is not a particularly profound film , Change Of Habit does represent a change of pace for Elvis. A drama instead of a comedy, this film featured only three songs. Elvis stars a Dr. John Carpenter, a professional man for the first time in his career. Dr. Carpenter heads a clinic in a ghetto area of a major metropolitan area. He is suprised to be offered assitance by three woman. Unknown to him, the three are nuns in street clothing who are on a "secret" mission to aid the community but are afraid the local residents might be reluctant to seek hekp if their true identities were known. Dr. Carpenter falls in love with Sister Michelle Gallagher (Mary Tyler Moore) but her true vocation remains unknown to him. Sister Michelle also has feelings for Dr. Carpenter but is reluctant to leave the order. The film concludes with Sister Michelle entering a church to pray for guidance to make her choice - the church or Dr. Carpenter.Unfortunately, by this time, Elvis had lost his lack of interest in pursuing a film career and had let his film contracts expire. He was eagerly awaiting his freedom to return to live performances.
It's interesting to note the cast in this film. Mary Tyler Moore who had success in the Dick Van Dyke show and her own series The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Ed Asner who co-stared on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Jane Elliot (Sister Barbara Bennett) is now a well know soap opera star. Darlene Love who was a member of The Blossoms singing group that backed Elvis on his 1968 NBC TV Special and later played Danny Glover's wife in Lethal Weapon plays one of the backup singers in this film.
Produced for Universal Pictures by Joe Connelly. Released November 10, 1969. Color.
