Black Narcissus is in my top 10 films of all time. I think Ms Byron's nun actually portrayed an unstable obsession rather than anything else. So sad.

Her performance was way over the top, but it worked as a contrast to Deborah Kerr's more quiet performance. Had Kathleen Byron been a Hollywood actress, I believe she would have gone far. The British film industry in those days didn't have much of a place for actresses like her.

I thought Byron was excellent as the nun. I'm not sure I'd call her "sex-crazed," however. Sex was an important component, yes, but she also wanted more than that from David Farrar's character.
