Update:
I have just finished watching the movie which is as good as I remember it, even though the copy (it is available on YT) wasn't too good. Needs to be remastered.
I have also found the opera of which I have seen the touching closing scene. I will have to watch it from the start now.
Many movie theaters now feature "Fathom Events", which include live and pre recorded performances of the NYC Met Opera. Dialogues of the Carmelites has, surprisingly, appeared several times in recent years.
They were popular events in the college town i lived in in MA (music students were required to attend) but since I moved to FL I've never seen more than about 5 people in the theater :(

Opera de Lyon’s recording on Virgin Classics has a great cast under Kent Nagano’s direction. Although it’s out of print, you can snag a used copy.
