The Bells of St. Mary's

The Bells of St. Mary’s is a 1945 drama directed by Leo McCarey. Bing Crosby and Ingrid Bergman starred in the movie. Crosby had been known for his light-hearted comedic roles. He plays a young Catholic priest named Father O’Malley. Crosby had played the same role in Going My Way. Going My Way was a major turning point in Crosby’s career, and he was skeptical about taking the role. In The Bells of St. Mary’s Father O’Malley is put in charge of an inner-city school that is on the verge of being shut down. This is heartwarming movie that deals with important questions.
