America’s favorite entertainer, Bing Crosby, shares the screen with the lovely and talented Ingrid Bergman in Leo McCarey's beloved classic. This follow-up to Going My Way, which introduced Crosby’s Father O’Malley character, co-stars Bergman as Sister Benedict, the strong-willed nun whose efforts to save the St. Mary’s school clash with O’Malley’s. An enduring audience favorite, The Bells of St. Mary's is presented in a new 4K restoration for this Olive Signature edition.
Witty and heartwarming, The Bells of St. Mary’s features the unforgettable pairing of Bing Crosby and Ingrid Bergman, in a timeless classic from Leo McCarey. Reprising his Academy Award winning role in Going My Way, Crosby stars as Father O’Malley – a priest on a mission to help revitalize the financially-strapped parochial school St. Mary’s. O’Malley’s assignment, to determine if St. Mary’s should be abandoned due to its decline, soon has him butting heads with the school’s headstrong manager, Sister Benedict (Bergman). But their squabbles are rendered inconsequential with the arrival of Horace P. Bogardus (Henry Travers), a skin-flint businessman set on seeing St. Mary’s condemned to make way for a parking lot. With tremendous warmth, this tale of a devoted pair fighting against the odds has been delighting audiences for generations. [MORE INFORMATION - CLICK HERE]
