The Bells of St. Mary's works much better for its battle of wills between a parish priest and a head nun than the dopey musical interludes that pepper it, but Bells is still a winning, emotionally satisfying film. This sequel to Going My Way has Father O'Malley (Bing Crosby) taking over the St. Mary's parochial school and finding himself at loggerheads with Sister Benedict (Ingrid Bergman, looking gorgeous even in a habit). There's a wonderful balance to all of this: O'Malley takes a more worldly approach to administration and is wrong just as many times as the nun is when she insists on a more biblical approach. About four subplots suffuse the film, including the story of a young charge from the wrong side of the tracks, and the deteriorating state of St. Mary's in the shadow of a brand-new building (the owner is played by the avuncular Henry Travers). A dear film. --Keith Simanton

I am very satisfied with the quality of the DVD I sent for (Bells of St. Mary's) mid-50,s Black/White movie. It was easy to order through you, & delivery was fast.

 Sound edited... false face March 22, 2008

Very surprised to see that the Pledge of Allegiance in the very first seen was sound edited to exclude the phrase "under God"... False rendition, and two-faced presentation. It's difficult to understand how people can think they can trick God.
Just what Mom likes February 23, 2008
Bought this as a Valentine gift for my Mother who is 81 years old. This is just what she likes and was very pleased.
The Bell's of St. Mary DVD February 22, 2008
It's old (real old) but a Christmas Classic. The story is enjoyable to follow and the acting is superb. You would believe that Bing Crosby was a priest in the Catholic Church, but (as with Ingrid Bergman) modern views.
