Content Description
Japanese pressing of the 1992 Touchstone Pictures comedy Sister Act, starring Whoopi Goldberg, Maggie Smith, Harvey Keitel, Bill Nunn, and Kathy Najimy. A Reno lounge singer witnesses a mob murder and is placed in protective custody in a convent, where she transforms the choir — and accidentally becomes a media sensation.

The Japanese title 天使にラブ・ソングを… translates roughly as "A Love Song for an Angel…"
