The Bells of St. Mary's**
(US 1945)
Singing priest Father O'Malley takes a new post at a struggling convent school and comes into friendly conflict with the beautiful but secretly unwell Mother Superior.
All very watered down and pleasantly sentimental series of vignettes with occasional songs, which goes on for a while but never drags, even if most of the potential drama soon disappears into a feelgood family film, with the stars able to carry it off successfully.
Written by: Dudley Nichols.
Producer/Director: Leo McCarey.
Starring: Bing Crosby, Ingrid Bergman, Henry Travers, William Gargan, Ruth Donnelly, Joan Carroll, Martha Sleeper, Una O'Connor.
Photography: George Barnes.
Music: Robert Emmett Dolan.
