When does Peggy Ashcroft appear?

I have tried to watch this film a few times just to see Peggy Ashcroft's scene.

But the movie is so long and earnest and I have NIL interest in Catholic cults and masochism and I usually give up before seeing Peggy Ashcroft's short scene.

When does it occur?

Peggy Ashcroft appears as soon as Sister Luke arrives in the Congo, which is a glorious element, and quite a bit into the film.
The whole movie is really worth watching -- even with your resistance to its topic, you could try to watch it with detachment....

^ Thank you.

I guess that's in the second hour (I've watched the first hour about three times now).

No spoilers, but you should give the entire movie a chance.
