Watch: Change of Habit 1969 123movies, Full Movie Online – In an uncommon dramatic role, Elvis plays Dr. John Carpenter, an inner-city doctor working at a free clinic. Mary Tyler Moor plays a nurse and a nun sent by the Catholic Action Committee with two others dressed as nurses to help him. How can they make a difference in this hostile world?.
Plot: Dr. John Carpenter takes the job of running a health center in a low-income district. He enlists three women to help out who — unbeknownst to him — are actually nuns in street clothes. The church wants to improve the neighborhood but fears that nuns in full habit would not be well received. Unaware of her unavailability, John falls for Sister Michelle, serenading her with his guitar — which, luckily for him, effectively wears away at her religious resolve.

A Nice Surprise from The King.
A sad lament among fans of Elvis Presley is that his handlers (read: Col. Tom Parker) thought so little of him and his talents that they put him in piles of cinematic dung such as “Paradise Hawaiian Style” and turned down movies like “A Star is Born”. If you’ve spent your life watching “Girls Girls Girls” and “Kid Galahad” then seeing a “normal” Elvis sans jumpsuit or guitar or a bevy of bikini-clad babes may jar you.However, “Change of Habit” is not one of his mindless musicals. It is instead an attempt at a “real” movie, and Elvis fares well. It is odd to see Mary Tyler Moore as his love interest, but it’s odd to see her as anything but Laura Petrie to me anyway. A little better script, maybe a different actress as his foil, and “Change of Habit” would have been a better movie. But when you compare it to “Clambake” ….well…..that’s not really fair is it?
Underrated Presley Performance
Although I am not a fan of the legendary Elvis Presley (in music or on screen), I must say that after seeing his 1969 film, “A Change of Habit,” I realized his talent as an actor was very underrated. Of course, he was placed in his share of cheezy B-movie musicals, some so terrible that, to quote the King himself, they made him “physically ill.” But this film lets Presley perform in a more relaxed atmosphere, without the restrictions of having to have a guitar at his side every second (though he does sing a bit in this film, but not so much that it ruins the drama). The same year, Presley was offered Jon Voight’s role in the Academy Award winning “Midnight Cowboy.” This film has led me to believe that Elvis may not have been bad at all in that role. –Bud Sturguess, Texas
