Rosalind Russell in Sister Kenny (1946)
Fun fact: Sister Elizabeth Kenny was not a nun. In a custom that survived into the 20th century, "Sister" was a title of respect and authority by which senior nurses in hospitals of British and Commonwealth countries were addressed.

Oh, how did I miss that! I did see the film, but it was decades ago. Thanks for letting me know (and for clarifying things; very interesting). I'll adjust my OP. What a dunce!
But now I'm going to add a couple more: two missionaries, one who gets derailed by romance, and the other who (I believe) adhered to her mission. (Hope I've got this right!)
Barbara Stanwyck in The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1932)
And Ingrid Bergman in The Inn of Sixth Happiness.
Good ones! And to make up for the "Sister" I knocked out: Robin and Marian
17 years after The Nun's Story, Audrey Hepburn had gotten back into the habit.

...another one was Quasimodo the bell ringer in Notre Dame Cathedral, though he was not a holy man person, but Cedric Hardwicke was indeed a wayward priest.

Karloff before he got so wrapped up … That was some capital pun-ishment (and I don't mean by the pharaoh). Here's another kind of "high" priest, Richard Basehart as George Healey, defrocked for alcoholism, in the 1953 Titanic: And here's Karloff again, as T. Vernon Isopod, another hard drinker (and skirt chaser), masquerading as a minister in order to stir up scandalous new headlines about an old murder case for editor Edward G. Robinson in Five Star Final:
