The Bells of St. Mary's
The Whole World's in Tune... with Bing and Bergman together at their most brilliant best!
Directed by Leo McCarey
Produced by Rainbow Productions
A warmhearted, gently comedic story about two dedicated religious figures working together to save a struggling school, suffused with faith, humor, and affection.
Father O'Malley is sent to St. Mary's, a run-down parochial school on the verge of condemnation. He and Sister Benedict work together in an attempt to save the school, though their differing methods often lead to good-natured disagreements.
