Amazon.com essential video 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

A Christmas Gift November 29, 2008 Margaret Lawrence
Sixy Three years ago, I saw this movie for the first time and have enjoyed watching it through the years. The song from the movie THE BELLS OF SAINT MARYS has alway been one of my favorite songs.
When my husband and I was married in 1961, THE BELLS OF SAINT MARYS was played at our Wedding.
During this Christmas season, families need to watch this movie and renew the story is brings, love, sharing, and giving of ones material things to better our neighbors.
old movie classics November 12, 2008 it's a classic must have for anyones DVD collection. Ingrid Bergman reminds me soooo much of Isabella Rosellini!!
DVD October 24, 2008 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.
Mary.
Sound edited... false face March 22, 2008 3 out of 9 found this review helpful
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.
