My husband played the part of Tommy Smith who fought with Eddie. His brother played the part of baby Jesus in the school play. He had fond memories of Bing Crosby.
Bing Crosby was born in my hometown, Spokane, WA. They even named a theatre there, the Bing Crosby Theatre, and there is also a Bing Crosby museum on the Gonzaga campus, which includes one of his Oscar's he won.
Yes and I know that he was Catholic in real life too! Just like Fr O'Malley, Patsy, and Mrs Breen the housekeeper. I don't know if her son "Eddie" who had the fight with your husband, was though.

This was one of my sister’s favorite movies. She has passed, but forever in my heart will we share this memory. God bless my dear dear sister. May she Rest In Peace.
@@jimgag2 Well, I just lost my mother two weeks ago. She was wonderful and her faith was her foundation. Now my mom, my dad, and my sister are together in heaven. God bless you and I am sorry for your loss.
Playing a nun here, in 1945, has nothing to do with running away four years later with a most admired Italian director whom, by the way, she married in 1950. I don’t see any scandal here. Only bigotry from those who never mind their own business. Actually, the big hypocrisy is that Hollywood made a fuss about it just because she was no longer a money-maker to them, once gone. They are used to pulling the strings of bigotry if needed. That’s plain cynicism. Who’s gonna be fooled by that ? Show business people, especially in Hollywood, don’t believe in anything but cash. Bergman wasn’t that type. After all, she was from Sweden, and they didn’t understand people like her, obviously. Good for her ! (And well done !) Black and white is always a better choice than color for closeups (and it provides the kind of distance that favors and allows the dream ...). I wish they shot more films in black and white nowadays, although it’s more expensive ...
I agree with you ... and after she died in 1982 Gregory Peck said about her that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen..... and no makeup at all on her face......!!!!!!!!!!
This is a splendid film. Bing Crosby is outstanding as Fr. O'Malley. Ingrid Bergman is superb as Sister Superior. And she looks beautiful in a habit. The children are darling in this film. Thank you Clark for posting this.
I can relate to this movie as a child going to a Catholic school grades 1 to 8th. Then to a Catholic high School DeMatha in Hyattsville, Maryland. Great times, playing sports and having to study as I am the oldest of 5 boys. My parents sacrificed for our education, all my brothers including myself turned out very successful. God Bless America !
I, also, went to Catholic school...St Jude's and Academy of the Holy Cross in Kensington, MD. Hi DeMatha! I had a nephew that went there. Love this movie! Love seeing the nuns in full habit again.
It's sentimental, sweet, and entertaining yet has a message in it and makes the world seem good and wholesome. I hope more films like this will be made in this generation. It will do us good.
Catholic Mother of 9 children here… some of them home sick with me sick as well today . I needed something for us all to watch together as we rest. I couldn’t think of a better movie today than this! Lots of smiles and tears watching with the children … a real balm to my soul and a much needed rest taking care of the sick while sick. ❤️🕊️ Thank you for making it available for us to savor. Tonight St. Nicholas comes to fill their shoes with chocolate coins for the feast day of St. Nicholas tomorrow, December 6!!!
From one Catholic mom to another... I hope that you feel better soon! Sending up prayers for all of you... for rest, peace, comfort, strength and healing!
Not so sure. I jokingly said ba humbug to a clerk who clearly had no clue what I was talking about. Somewhere, somehow and in someway, something is seriously wrong with this generation.
Seriously though, generation X, watched it, and had zero clue what's the angle here. Checked some IMDB review, and there's your eye-opener - I had never known about 70 kids in one class room, nor of lethal fires in school buildings, I had heard comments that the nuns could "play in rough" ("just the way it was in those times") from boomers though - go figure! So, it was a necessary movie in it's time! Yet, they are a changing, for better or worse, that's open to subjectivity.
The don't make movies of substance period.Everthing is sexual nude scenes to give reality well I for one, go to the movies to escape reality ! I want to be entertained. I don't want to see druggies and gun violence and pornography (ALMOST) Movies after the depression catered to family-friendly audience made you feel good, happy,proud. Nowadays admission cost 🎟twenty dollars to see animation on screen. In the 1940's they called that cartoons between feature films. Two movie, and cartoons .We loved them then and still loved them now. Maybe more now.📣📽📸🥂the golden days of Hollywood👏
This was my Dad's favorite movie. He passed four years ago at 90. I just watched the movie for the first time here. In my tears I finally understand Dad. Merry Christmas ole Partner.
@@greghemlock6679 Sounds like you had a strong case to sue for 'common assault under color of law' ? To have won that, i am sure, would have had a greater positive influence on your lasting self-esteem, then the 'unlawful oppression' inflicted upon you ! Good luck to you.
@@wepipe One can always expect the little devils coming a cursing those who have the love of Christ in them. You take care of that immortal soul of yours now.
I, too, came from the generation when we respected the holy name of God. People nowadays use profanity ad nauseum. They will be judged by the the third commandment of God. Woe are they!
What a wonderful movie. So touching. Made me cry like a baby. I just love Bing in about everything he's done. But this was his finest movie. I know he won an Oscar for his role. Ingrid Bergman was as fine an actress as they come. So very well done.
I’m not sure how many times I’ve watched this movie I know at least 5 maybe more. I think I love it simply because I wanted to be a noun so badly in my youth , but for many reasons I was discouraged and told I would never be allowed to be one. Simply , because I wasn’t Catholic as well as being African American, but mostly my dream of a husband with children . I am so thankful Almighty God blessed me with all the desires of my heart , genuine sincere belief, trust and love of and for God in my heart, a loving husband of 45 years and a son and granddaughter that I cherish .
When Catholics were Catholic nuns were nuns and priests were priests. I went to a school very similar to this. Then 1970 came and our teacher Sr Agnes walked in without her habit on. We were stunned. She did her best to explain it but nobody was buying. I'll never forget that day as long as I live
I was educated at Roman Catholic School I have nothing but respect and admiration for the sisters who taught me, it was dedicated love what they did came from their hearts...Amazing ladies
My dad got me to watch this movie with him many years ago during the holiday season. My dad is gone now but I still watch it every year. Always makes me think of him. Great movie and Ingrid Bergman was great an so funny, not to mention beautiful
My close neighbor and friend also lost her mother at the same age and she feels the same; she speaks of that loss often and although I lost my mother later in life, I know that at the holidays especially I think of all the memories we shared. I hope you have a blessed holiday season.
this was one of the many classic movies that were shown on free TV over and over again leading up to Christmas in the late 70s and early 80s. Wonderful life was also one. over and over and over again, lol. I loved it.
Its a beautiful movie! A movie full of hope and love. A movie that will teach you there is joy in giving! Truly enjoyed every bit of it! Thank you God for guiding me to watch it!
Absolutely beautiful movie. “Father please help remove all bitterness from my heart, and father , let me accept your Holy will for me and my life.” So many lessons in this movie. You will shed tears. And I hope this movie brings more people to the Catholic Faith. Just beautiful!
Alara Hillton God bless you, a Christmas tradition in our home since when I was a little girl. I am 70 now! Merry Christmas and have a wonderful and blessed new year.
Alara Hillton I’m so glad you told me, it’s hard to be alone. I am 70 years old, and have to be in bed most of the time because of the spinal injury. (30 years ago). It would be my honor to pray for you. I try to find someone each day that I can pray for, I feel that’s what God wants me to do right now, since I can’t do active things...Thank you for telling me. Again, God bless you. I will also pray that God puts someone special in your life....❤️
OVER HERE! You’re right, I have raised seven children, and now have nine grandchildren. I think a lot of respect begins in the home, but friends are such an influence! You’re right about that discipline, Catholic education did give me discipline in some areas, but in someways, I was always afraid.Afraid that I would go to hell, afraid of “is this a mortal sin. I can tell you that if I would’ve had pictures like these sisters and priest, it would have been an awesome experience. Thanks for your comments. Definitely food for thought. God bless you, and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
@@fileboy2002 To a degree you are correct but remembering this. What was evil and sick yesterday is now expectable. People have become depraved and selfish since God was tossed out. Evidence is all around you and me. We need God to come back.
HUH? You mean the era of WWII? Are you effing kidding? This is a movie MEANT to be pretty, to promote the idea that life is good and people are kind. Meanwhile, Hitler built death camps.
@@fileboy2002 Thankyou. From the costumes the nuns are wearing I believe them to be Dominican. Women who abused children and beat them with absolutely no mercy. I went to school in the 50s. Worst time to go to Catholic school. Only 10 years later and their rotten hands were tied. Today those nuns would be arrested.
im glad to be in the comments..full of hope for this generation..when i thought im alone in this busy world,searching for a true meaningful life,i read comments and im grateful for it ..
Love this movie. Ingrid Bergman and Bing Crosby were PERFECT in their roles. I cry every time at the ending of the movie every time. THANK YOU You Tube, and Clark Leeth.
Im in RCIA now, since May 15...and I believe I'm attending Daily Mass with modern day Saints. 🙏💐💕 sometimes their faces hold the countenance of beloved family members, past cherished faithful friends and future heavenly citizens.🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵 so much to learn, only one life to gather valuable and precious knowledge, and worship, serve and forgive our fellowman as much as we can.
@@jjcevering9411 SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND NEW FOUND BELIEFS. WELCOME AND I PRAY YOU WILL FIND YOUR NEW CLASSES IN FAITH VERY UPLIFTING AND WONDEROUS. YOU ARE SO CORRECT ABOUT MODERN SAINTS. THERE IS. CERTAIN SAINT PADRE PIO WHO WAS HEAVENLY GIFTED WITH THE MOST HOLIEST OF STAMPS OF DEVINE LOVE.💗🌷. HE WAS GIFTED WITH THE STIGMATA.. ONE OF THE WOUNDS OF THE CRUCIFUED CHRIST. ITS ADVANCED KNOWLEGE FOR YOU BUT AS YOUR WELL PUT SENTIMENT. SAID. ENQUIRE ABOUT IT IN YOUR CLASS. AFTER ALL "WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME HERE ON EARTH. TO GATHER KNOWLEDGE". AMEN🙏
I'm not a Catholic but I love the story line and the movie. This movie takes me back to gentler times and memories of my youth, when things were not as hectic and tense as they are today.
Hats off to Clark Leeth for making this great and wonderful movie available. I've not seen a movie as good as this one for years. It was one you can watch and afterwards feel good about yourself and others. It's a cleansing kind of film to me. Blessings on Clark Leeth and family. Thank you!!!
when I was very young mom and dad put me in a orphanage,anyhow I watch this and often remember god keeping me so I hope this inspires someone god bless
+Frank Frontiera I can relate! My bags were packed, when I was three-I was sat out on the porch; picked up by a Social Worker-at least the beatings had stopped by the one who had sent me packing! Yes; I find life can be inspirational; when hearts relate to one another.
God bless you both. Most of us never realize how lucky we truly were as children. I was blessed with loving parents, adopted by my Great Aunt and Uncle.... but I couldn't have wished for better. I miss them dearly.
Sentimental movie - reminds me of my Catholic grade school, even the Nun's habits are similar. Although our classrooms were crowded the Nuns had complete control because they had our respect. Since religion was a subject in Catholic schools we learned about our Catholic faith from the Baltimore Catechism. We not only received an excellent education, but learned how to be disciplined and how to be respectful. Thank you for this beautiful movie!
Exceptionally beautiful movie! And Bing Crosby's voice absolutely stunningly beautiful! Not to mention Ingrid Bergman, who, even dressed as a nun, shone and glowed like a heavenly star! Such a beautiful woman!
What a beautiful, precious movie! I smiled, I laughed and, here and there, I also shed tears of joy and nostalgia. How sad that the sister had to leave St Mary's. She meant so much for all, and especially for the children. How I love those good old times! Many thanks for uploading this brilliant movie.
I never get tired of watching the amazing film. Such beauty of Spirit, love and service. And the finest of actors in Ingrid, Bing and others. Thank you you tube for this timeless movie.
No, it wasn't. The abuse was hidden, not talked about. Stop looking at fictional stories like this movie as if they represented real life back then. THEY DID NOT. That's why people went to these movies back then.
I can never tire of watching this movie I watch it at least 3 times a week. It's UPLIFTING, INSPIRATIONAL and one of the best movies ever made thank you so much for sharing this wonderful gem.
One of my favorite movies of all time. Favorite scene, towards the end, when Father O'Malley tells Sister Benedict, she is being sent away because of health reasons and not because they butted heads on a daily bases. The look in Sister's (Ingrid Bergman's) eyes, just makes you well up inside. What actors and actresses back then.
Once I hear that plan I started scanning the comments for a spoiler. Glad to have found yours. It would have been cruel and criminal to send her away without telling her the truth.
Merry Christmas 2019! I watched this for the first time in the early 70’s with my Dad & Grandpa. It’s truly a timeless masterpiece! Being a Irish Catholic this movie and Bing Crosby are a must every Christmas!
I haven’t seen that movie since I was a very young kid. I cried this time. Thank you, thank you so very much! Memories! God bless all of you involved in it’s presentation! 🙏🏼
This is such a good movie a real classic I watched this when I was younger going to calothic school I miss the old days when things were normal in the world.
Me as a Muslim from Bosnia I can say probably this is the most emotional movie I ever saw so far in my life Thanks for the uploaded this so nice film Greetings from South Korea by Bosnian man 25.12.2020.
A Christmas Day greeting from a Muslim from Bosnia now in South Korea. You made the world slightly more civilized and somewhat more beautiful with your kind greeting.
One year later I have just watched it and it works on so many levels but ultimately a tale of Love , Faith and hope despite everything and through everything
I love this movie too, but as a hearing impaired person, it's too bad that who ever translated the dialogue for closed captioning obviously doesn't understand English, as a lot of the sentences don't make sense. Lucky that this is one of my favorite movies so I can follow it from memory. Sigh......
Never a Baritone so velvety and sweet as that of Bing Crosby's. To see him, a man of such slight of build, one could never guess what surprisingly strong and deep tones could come from his voice. He was gifted, and He played the piano in reality as well! His contributions to the entertainment world were immeasurable. The memory of His beautiful voice will live throughout recorded history. I have enjoyed the movie, and now the Theme song: The Bells of St Mary has taken on a new and poignant meaning !!!
+LOTTIE TUNES Check out "Going My way" also a 1940's movie starring " Der Bingle" ( Bing Crosby). He plays the same Irish priest, it"s part II of The Bells of St. Mary's.
kevin gallagher ~~ Will do. I have heard of that film, and seems like I saw it years ago. But this is a good time to see it again. Thanks for the suggestion!
kevin gallagher ~~ After making a good faith effort to find it for free on RUclips, I located two sites that want me to give up my Email and other info, or buy it for $2.99. At this time, I am not purchasing anything on-line; although for Christmas, I was thinking of buying a gift-card to utilize for on-line viewing. But I'll up-date you when I've seen it!
Will Rogers ~~ Thanks for the recommend. "Going My Way" was not previously available for free on RUclips. Surprisingly, someone has uploaded the Black & White 1944 version to RUclips, and I JUST FINISHED watching what was available of it. Apparently the last segment of it was not included. But enough of it was offered to be able to say that I have seen most of it once! By comparison with The Bells of St. Mary, it would be true to say the acting is just as good as usual with some welcome faces from the boys of the "Our Gang/Little Rascals" series. It was rather touching facts of poverty and desperate measures to survive that confronted first generations of Irish Immigrants in this country. Between the two Movies, with Bing Singing,, I prefer the story line and the music from The Bells of St Mary, because it was more realistic. Some Nuns have had to put aside their 'habit' and roll up their sleeves so as to teach survival skills to the local people. And learning to confront Bullies is a valuable lesson !! I really liked that part!
It is a wonderful movie, Ingrid Bergman was a great and sweet actor, and Bing Crosby had such a lovely voice, - it was nice to watch this great movie, thanks for posting.
Glad to find this GEM on RUclips, Love the boxing scene where Eddie decks the Sister , his concern for her is so genuine and priceless. My Mom loved this movie so much, and I do too. Thanks Mom for the enjoyment together. Thanks Clark for the post. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. What's up with the 915 Dislikes ??? ( When I enjoyed this movie. ) Some people don't know a GREAT Movie, even if it hit them like a train. Pffffffft !!!!!
Some people have very poor taste so the dislikes could be from fans of rubbish like reality programmes or "woke" modern films. It's a shame for them that they could dislike a lovely, uplifting and family-friendly film like this but then, there's a lot of hatred for Christianity and the message of Christ around these days isn't there? Their loss! God bless you and all here!
This movie is full of wonderful soulful acting, there are more scenes I cry in when I watch this movie than any other I've ever watched. The timing, the great acting, the innocent times, and so many wonderful truths of live and the heart. Watching this movie will restore your faith in human beings and remind you of the real important things in life! Merry Christmas everyone!
What a fantastic movie! I've always been a great admirer of both Bing Crosby and Ingrid Bergman, and watching them together, in such a finely made movie is a treasure! I've saved the movie, and will watch it many times. Thank you for posting it on RUclips. I'm indebted to you....
Shawn, my Mother's as well. She has passed away and this is one way I have a precious memory of her. We played all these old movies every year over Xmas break when I was young.
always enjoy this movie no matter how many times I see it when O'Malley walks in on the nuns gathered round having an enthusiastic conversation - "What's up Notre Dame win another one" - that is typical Bing - you know he had to adlib that line thanks for posting

Playing a nun here, in 1945, has nothing to do with running away four years later with a most admired Italian director whom, by the way, she married in 1950.
I don’t see any scandal here. Only bigotry from those who never mind their own business.
Actually, the big hypocrisy is that Hollywood made a fuss about it just because she was no longer a money-maker to them, once gone. They are used to pulling the strings of bigotry if needed. That’s plain cynicism. Who’s gonna be fooled by that ? Show business people, especially in Hollywood, don’t believe in anything but cash.
Bergman wasn’t that type. After all, she was from Sweden, and they didn’t understand people like her, obviously. Good for her ! (And well done !)
Black and white is always a better choice than color for closeups (and it provides the kind of distance that favors and allows the dream ...). I wish they shot more films in black and white nowadays, although it’s more expensive ...
I agree with you ... and after she died in 1982 Gregory Peck said about her that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen..... and no makeup at all on her face......!!!!!!!!!!
DAM STRAIGHT...!!!!!!!!@@funguy246
This is a splendid film. Bing Crosby is outstanding as Fr. O'Malley. Ingrid Bergman is superb as Sister Superior. And she looks beautiful in a habit. The children are darling in this film. Thank you Clark for posting this.
I can relate to this movie as a child going to a Catholic school grades 1 to 8th. Then to a Catholic high School DeMatha in Hyattsville, Maryland. Great times, playing sports and having to study as I am the oldest of 5 boys. My parents sacrificed for our education, all my brothers including myself turned out very successful. God Bless America !
I, also, went to Catholic school...St Jude's and Academy of the Holy Cross in Kensington, MD. Hi DeMatha! I had a nephew that went there. Love this movie! Love seeing the nuns in full habit again.
NOT ALL OF US HAD GOOD MEMORIES OF CATHOLIC SCHOOLS. I KNOW YOU WANT TO REMEMBER THE GOOD AND SO DO I.
Brings back memories of going to St Ann’s for 8 years in Jersey city. The school is gone but the church is still there. Great movie thank you 😊
Saint Ann's in Bethlehem, PA for 8 years too. The school is larger now. I saw this movie when it first came out...still powerful.
The church no longer "up to its neck in nuns," as the rectory housekeeper complains.
It's sentimental, sweet, and entertaining yet has a message in it and makes the world seem good and wholesome. I hope more films like this will be made in this generation. It will do us good.
😭😭"Stop me if you've heard this, father"... He said go on, the trademark of a true good Pastor👏🏼🙌🏼💖💗✌🏼
Catholic Mother of 9 children here… some of them home sick with me sick as well today . I needed something for us all to watch together as we rest. I couldn’t think of a better movie today than this! Lots of smiles and tears watching with the children … a real balm to my soul and a much needed rest taking care of the sick while sick. ❤️🕊️ Thank you for making it available for us to savor. Tonight St. Nicholas comes to fill their shoes with chocolate coins for the feast day of St. Nicholas tomorrow, December 6!!!
From one Catholic mom to another... I hope that you feel better soon! Sending up prayers for all of you... for rest, peace, comfort, strength and healing!

what a gem of a movie! I am overwhelmed by the beauty of it! This is a perfect movie!
They don't make movies like this anymore they will always be treasured.
First time watching this on 12/23/19.
Not so sure. I jokingly said ba humbug to a clerk who clearly had no clue what I was talking about.
Somewhere, somehow and in someway, something is seriously wrong with this generation.
@@davidgeorge000 Ya think so???!!
Seriously though, generation X, watched it, and had zero clue what's the angle here. Checked some IMDB review, and there's your eye-opener - I had never known about 70 kids in one class room, nor of lethal fires in school buildings, I had heard comments that the nuns could "play in rough" ("just the way it was in those times") from boomers though - go figure! So, it was a necessary movie in it's time! Yet, they are a changing, for better or worse, that's open to subjectivity.
The don't make movies of substance period.Everthing is sexual nude scenes to give reality well I for one, go to the movies to escape reality ! I want to be entertained. I don't want to see druggies and gun violence and pornography (ALMOST) Movies after the depression catered to family-friendly audience made you feel good, happy,proud. Nowadays admission cost 🎟twenty dollars to see animation on screen. In the 1940's they called that cartoons between feature films. Two movie, and cartoons .We loved them then and still loved them now. Maybe more now.📣📽📸🥂the golden days of Hollywood👏
We love when Ingrid Bergman teaches Bobby how to box! Great scene. Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without Bing Crosbys velvety voice.
The boxing part is really the best part.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Michael John Dennis God Bless “Melanie” It is Amazing that she lived so long. My Grandma was 100.... Rest in Peace “Livvie!”
@Michael John Dennis Only a few weeks after she went cycling in the middle of the pandemic. What a legend
Velvety lmao
She taught "Eddie" how to box.
watching while isolating corona virus, thought ols movies may cheer us all up, and crying and laughing, wonderful movie
they don't make such peacefully beautiful films like this anymore. gosh, gratitude for this upload
This was my Dad's favorite movie. He passed four years ago at 90. I just watched the movie for the first time here. In my tears I finally understand Dad. Merry Christmas ole Partner.
Merry Christmas Brian & God bless you!
Notice how all the children bowed their head at the name of Jesus singing happy birthday, as we were taught to do!

@@wepipe One can always expect the little devils coming a cursing those who have the love of Christ in them. You take care of that immortal soul of yours now.
I, too, came from the generation when we respected the holy name of God. People nowadays use profanity ad nauseum. They will be judged by the the third commandment of God. Woe are they!
Love the beautiful Christmas play by the precious, innocent, little children!
What a wonderful movie. So touching. Made me cry like a baby. I just love Bing in about everything he's done. But this was his finest movie. I know he won an Oscar for his role. Ingrid Bergman was as fine an actress as they come. So very well done.
Bing was wonderful, my favourite......
Ever since I was a child I have seen this picture over and over countless times and I have never been bored watching it!
Exceptional performance by Ingrid
I wish they made films like this now adays when people need hope and faith more than ever
I’m not sure how many times I’ve watched this movie I know at least 5 maybe more. I think I love it simply because I wanted to be a noun so badly in my youth , but for many reasons I was discouraged and told I would never be allowed to be one. Simply , because I wasn’t Catholic as well as being African American, but mostly my dream of a husband with children . I am so thankful Almighty God blessed me with all the desires of my heart , genuine sincere belief, trust and love of and for God in my heart, a loving husband of 45 years and a son and granddaughter that I cherish .
@SCOTT SMITH Bwahahaha!
What a great christmas movie. First time seeing it. Back when movies actually had dialogue...
When Catholics were Catholic nuns were nuns and priests were priests. I went to a school very similar to this. Then 1970 came and our teacher Sr Agnes walked in without her habit on. We were stunned. She did her best to explain it but nobody was buying. I'll never forget that day as long as I live
Kristen Marie Vatican II was a betrayal of the Holy Saints. May God forgive us for The Council.
I was educated at Roman Catholic School
I have nothing but respect and admiration for the sisters who taught me, it was dedicated love what they did came from their hearts...Amazing ladies
A nun's worth and dignity is not in her habit but in her acts, her faith, her heart.
@@markrobertson6664 and it led straight to today, where the Church is headed by a communist.
Even though I'm not Catholic, I do like this movie.
Same here. Not Catholic , not even religious , but I do like and am touched by this movie.
@@sabevabg I love being a Catholic. You are more than welcome to become a Catholic, too!🙏👍
A Holiday Classic! Use to watch this movie with my dad years ago before he died in 1994! Memories....🙏❤️✝️😊
My dad got me to watch this movie with him many years ago during the holiday season. My dad is gone now but I still watch it every year. Always makes me think of him. Great movie and Ingrid Bergman was great an so funny, not to mention beautiful
David Digital always watched this with my mom. She died when I was 15, I'm 65 now and still remember the time spent with her.
My close neighbor and friend also lost her mother at the same age and she feels the same; she speaks of that loss often and although I lost my mother later in life, I know that at the holidays especially I think of all the memories we shared. I hope you have a blessed holiday season.
Memories instilled in us will always be with us.
My Dad, who's now passed, would watch this together as well. Brings back warm memories.
My Mom and I have been watching it together for close to 30 years. This is the first year I won't be able to. My work schedule prevents it.
this was one of the many classic movies that were shown on free TV over and over again leading up to Christmas in the late 70s and early 80s. Wonderful life was also one. over and over and over again, lol. I loved it.
I also loved the trouble with angels during the holiday season
This movie never gets old! Love it! Thanks!
How sweet that you put this up for your wife, Penny, and for all of us. Gloria in excelsis Deo 😍
I became fan of Ingrid Bergman. The silence, the void, the pain, the suffering in her eyes at the time of living St. Mary's was mesmerising.
One of my all time favorites! They can take away all this other crap, these heartwarming movies suit me just fine.
I looked for this movie on Netflix and Amazon Prime, no luck. Then I decided to look on RUclips. Thank you Clark, so happy to see this once more.
Fantastic piece of film making ...
A rare sight these days
Its a beautiful movie! A movie full of hope and love. A movie that will teach you there is joy in giving! Truly enjoyed every bit of it! Thank you God for guiding me to watch it!
Absolutely beautiful movie. “Father please help remove all bitterness from my heart, and father , let me accept your Holy will for me and my life.”
So many lessons in this movie.
You will shed tears. And I hope this movie brings more people to the Catholic Faith. Just beautiful!
Alara Hillton God bless you, a Christmas tradition in our home since when I was a little girl. I am 70 now! Merry Christmas and have a wonderful and blessed new year.
Jude Christenson thank you. This may have been the first time I saw it. I am 67; alone; and need some healing. Merry Christmas.
I was educated in the Catholic Church appreciate the sisters that taught me respect their dedication
Alara Hillton I’m so glad you told me, it’s hard to be alone. I am 70 years old, and have to be in bed most of the time because of the spinal injury. (30 years ago). It would be my honor to pray for you. I try to find someone each day that I can pray for, I feel that’s what God wants me to do right now, since I can’t do active things...Thank you for telling me. Again, God bless you. I will also pray that God puts someone special in your life....❤️
OVER HERE! You’re right, I have raised seven children, and now have nine grandchildren. I think a lot of respect begins in the home, but friends are such an influence! You’re right about that discipline, Catholic education did give me discipline in some areas, but in someways, I was always afraid.Afraid that I would go to hell, afraid of “is this a mortal sin. I can tell you that if I would’ve had pictures like these sisters and priest, it would have been an awesome experience. Thanks for your comments. Definitely food for thought. God bless you, and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
She's soooo beautiful, elegant and innocent, like an angel.
Her daughter is equally as beautiful!
oh i agree
What an incredible and soul loving movie this is. It has so much wisdom and teaches us how we must live.
This movie put a smile on my face. The era of class, respect and goodwill ! Thanks for the upload! Enjoyed it very much.
Koco vic Pleaae keep in mind this is a work of fiction, and not a faithful accounting of what life was like in the mid-20th century
@@fileboy2002 To a degree you are correct but remembering this. What was evil and sick yesterday is now expectable. People have become depraved and selfish since God was tossed out. Evidence is all around you and me. We need God to come back.
HUH? You mean the era of WWII? Are you effing kidding? This is a movie MEANT to be pretty, to promote the idea that life is good and people are kind. Meanwhile, Hitler built death camps.
@@fileboy2002 Yeah we know.
@@fileboy2002 Thankyou. From the costumes the nuns are wearing I believe them to be Dominican. Women who abused children and beat them with absolutely no mercy. I went to school in the 50s. Worst time to go to Catholic school. Only 10 years later and their rotten hands were tied. Today those nuns would be arrested.
im glad to be in the comments..full of hope for this generation..when i thought im alone in this busy world,searching for a true meaningful life,i read comments and im grateful for it ..
Here we are again at next year. One of the best classic movies. Just love🕊⚘🎄
Love this movie. Ingrid Bergman and Bing Crosby were PERFECT in their roles. I cry every time at the ending of the movie every time. THANK YOU You Tube, and Clark Leeth.
Lovely movie, All nuns and priests I have known have been pretty much like this, a real blessing!
I AGREE 1000%. WONDERFUL PEOPLE THAT EDUCATED AND INFLUENCED ME MIGHTILY
Im in RCIA now, since May 15...and I believe I'm attending Daily Mass with modern day Saints. 🙏💐💕 sometimes their faces hold the countenance of beloved family members, past cherished faithful friends and future heavenly citizens.🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵 so much to learn, only one life to gather valuable and precious knowledge, and worship, serve and forgive our fellowman as much as we can.
@@jjcevering9411 SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND NEW FOUND BELIEFS. WELCOME AND I PRAY YOU WILL FIND YOUR NEW CLASSES IN FAITH VERY UPLIFTING AND WONDEROUS. YOU ARE SO CORRECT ABOUT MODERN SAINTS. THERE IS.

ITS ADVANCED KNOWLEGE FOR YOU BUT AS YOUR WELL PUT SENTIMENT. SAID. ENQUIRE ABOUT IT IN YOUR CLASS. AFTER ALL "WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME HERE ON EARTH. TO GATHER KNOWLEDGE". AMEN🙏
Me too!! Catholic School for me , a blessing!🙏
TY for saying that. I'm not Catholic, and always heard the nuns would hit the students fingers with a ruler. I'm glad to hear another side!
I'm not a Catholic but I love the story line and the movie. This movie takes me back to gentler times and memories of my youth, when things were not as hectic and tense as they are today.
Hats off to Clark Leeth for making this great and wonderful movie available. I've not seen a movie as good as this one for years. It was one you can watch and afterwards feel good about yourself and others. It's a cleansing kind of film to me. Blessings on Clark Leeth and family. Thank you!!!
Well said❤️❤️❤️❤️
i had seen this movie a month ago. Today I felt like seeing the last 5 minutes. Heart warming!
when I was very young mom and dad put me in a orphanage,anyhow I watch this and often remember god keeping me so I hope this inspires someone god bless
+Frank Frontiera I can relate! My bags were packed, when I was three-I was sat out on the porch; picked up by a Social Worker-at least the beatings had stopped by the one who had sent me packing! Yes; I find life can be inspirational; when hearts relate to one another.
God bless you both. Most of us never realize how lucky we truly were as children. I was blessed with loving parents, adopted by my Great Aunt and Uncle.... but I couldn't have wished for better. I miss them dearly.
Stay strong with Lord Jesus Christ

Love the old moral movies. It’s also good to see religious people depicted with real feelings. Merry Christmas and God blessings on you.

The thing I grieve most is the loss of innocence in America. We think we're too "sophisticated" for the schmultz we so desperately need.
Amen to that, sister. And Merry Christmas and God's blessings on you!
Merry Christmas!! God bless your heart!
Your words are wisdom.. in my 💓 this religion is what made it so morally special...God bless you.
Sentimental movie - reminds me of my Catholic grade school, even the Nun's habits are similar. Although our classrooms were crowded the Nuns had complete control because they had our respect. Since religion was a subject in Catholic schools we learned about our Catholic faith from the Baltimore Catechism. We not only received an excellent education, but learned how to be disciplined and how to be respectful. Thank you for this beautiful movie!
Exceptionally beautiful movie! And Bing Crosby's voice absolutely stunningly beautiful! Not to mention Ingrid Bergman, who, even dressed as a nun, shone and glowed like a heavenly star! Such a beautiful woman!
Ingrid did still benefit from a first class makeup artist.
What a beautiful, precious movie! I smiled, I laughed and, here and there, I also shed tears of joy and nostalgia. How sad that the sister had to leave St Mary's. She meant so much for all, and especially for the children. How I love those good old times! Many thanks for uploading this brilliant movie.
I never get tired of watching the amazing film. Such beauty of Spirit, love and service. And the finest of actors in Ingrid, Bing and others. Thank you you tube for this timeless movie.
it was a very different world from the one we are having now.
soooo different....so sad, right?
we will have a good and respectful world again, even we would have to wait 2, or 3 centuries for it! believe it!
@@reginasoul3929 Yes, when Jesus Christ rules with His saints.. Glory to God
Unfortunately our pop culture social media driven secular world is not focused on God🙏🙏🙏
No, it wasn't. The abuse was hidden, not talked about. Stop looking at fictional stories like this movie as if they represented real life back then. THEY DID NOT. That's why people went to these movies back then.
I can never tire of watching this movie I watch it at least 3 times a week. It's UPLIFTING, INSPIRATIONAL and one of the best movies ever made thank you so much for sharing this wonderful gem.
One of my favorite movies of all time. Favorite scene, towards the end, when Father O'Malley tells Sister Benedict, she is being sent away because of health reasons and not because they butted heads on a daily bases. The look in Sister's (Ingrid Bergman's) eyes, just makes you well up inside. What actors and actresses back then.
That was my favorite scene too, and it was interesting that they butted heads, but not angrily.
Once I hear that plan I started scanning the comments for a spoiler.
Glad to have found yours.
It would have been cruel and criminal to send her away without telling her the truth.
I used to cry so hard at this movie, Christmas morning.
Didn't she have tuberculosis?
@@nbenefiel I cry EVERYTIME I watch this movie, ANYTIME of the year!! LOL. It is a tear jerker alright!
Merry Christmas 2019! I watched this for the first time in the early 70’s with my Dad & Grandpa. It’s truly a timeless masterpiece! Being a Irish Catholic this movie and Bing Crosby are a must every Christmas!
Just so loved the Bells of St. Mary!!
I haven’t seen that movie since I was a very young kid. I cried this time. Thank you, thank you so very much! Memories! God bless all of you involved in it’s presentation! 🙏🏼
A wonderful heartwarming movie!
God bless you.
MEMORIES!! Beautiful memories. A special Christmas gift! Thanks!!❤️
The dog in the church yawning behind Mr. Bogardus made me laugh out loud! Such a timeless classic.
This is such a good movie a real classic I watched this when I was younger going to calothic school I miss the old days when things were normal in the world.

I ever saw so far in my life

Bookmarked to watch again at the beginning of the holidays this year. Put me in the Christmas mood :) If you're reading this, God bless you
One year later I have just watched it and it works on so many levels but ultimately a tale of Love , Faith and hope despite everything and through everything
@@andyfield3614 Merry Christmas and watch it again--- it nourishes the soul..
God bless you too
Thank you and God bless you too!
And may God bless you.
What lovely people, lovely acting, lovely speech and I really love this movie so much
I love this movie too, but as a hearing impaired person, it's too bad that who ever translated the dialogue for closed captioning obviously doesn't understand English, as a lot of the sentences don't make sense. Lucky that this is one of my favorite movies so I can follow it from memory. Sigh......
The part with the kitten and the hat always gets me dying 🤣
Great to see a great movie. Miss movies like this, and I never tire of watching them.
They don't make classics like this anymore
Never a Baritone so velvety and sweet as that of Bing Crosby's. To see him, a man of such slight of build, one could never guess what surprisingly strong and deep tones could come from his voice. He was gifted, and He played the piano in reality as well! His contributions to the entertainment world were immeasurable. The memory of His beautiful voice will live throughout recorded history. I have enjoyed the movie, and now the Theme song: The Bells of St Mary has taken on a new and poignant meaning !!!
+LOTTIE TUNES Check out "Going My way" also a 1940's movie starring " Der Bingle" ( Bing Crosby). He plays the same Irish priest, it"s part II of The Bells of St. Mary's.
kevin gallagher ~~ Will do. I have heard of that film, and seems like I saw it years ago. But this is a good time to see it again. Thanks for the suggestion!
kevin gallagher ~~ After making a good faith effort to find it for free on RUclips, I located two sites that want me to give up my Email and other info, or buy it for $2.99.
At this time, I am not purchasing anything on-line; although for Christmas, I was thinking of buying a gift-card to utilize for on-line viewing.
But I'll up-date you when I've seen it!
+LOTTIE TUNES Very true. Have you ever enjoyed the movie Going My Way? The Irish and Bing also star in it too. Enjoy.
Will Rogers ~~ Thanks for the recommend. "Going My Way" was not previously available for free on RUclips. Surprisingly, someone has uploaded the Black & White 1944 version to RUclips, and I JUST FINISHED watching what was available of it. Apparently the last segment of it was not included. But enough of it was offered to be able to say that I have seen most of it once!
By comparison with The Bells of St. Mary, it would be true to say the acting is just as good as usual with some welcome faces from the boys of the "Our Gang/Little Rascals" series. It was rather touching facts of poverty and desperate measures to survive that confronted first generations of Irish Immigrants in this country.
Between the two Movies, with Bing Singing,, I prefer the story line and the music from The Bells of St Mary, because it was more realistic. Some Nuns have had to put aside their 'habit' and roll up their sleeves so as to teach survival skills to the local people. And learning to confront Bullies is a valuable lesson !! I really liked that part!
It is a wonderful movie, Ingrid Bergman was a great and sweet actor, and Bing Crosby had such a lovely voice, - it was nice to watch this great movie, thanks for posting.
Mq
Glad to find this GEM on RUclips, Love the boxing scene where Eddie decks the Sister , his concern for her is so genuine and priceless. My Mom loved this movie so much, and I do too. Thanks Mom for the enjoyment together. Thanks Clark for the post. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. What's up with the 915 Dislikes ??? ( When I enjoyed this movie. ) Some people don't know a GREAT Movie, even if it hit them like a train. Pffffffft !!!!!
Some people have very poor taste so the dislikes could be from fans of rubbish like reality programmes or "woke" modern films. It's a shame for them that they could dislike a lovely, uplifting and family-friendly film like this but then, there's a lot of hatred for Christianity and the message of Christ around these days isn't there? Their loss!
God bless you and all here!
This is a phenomenal movie!! 🎥 🍿
Fantastic Movie. They don't make films like this anymore! Ingrid Bergman is simply the best actress ever. Rest in Peace.
As a little kid the first time I saw this, I fell in love with Ingrid Bergman. I was pleased to find it on RUclips.
Love this movie when I was a child and love it even more may these actor and actress rest in peace AMEN
I share your thoughts on this
Just another of my most loved movies. Loved every minute.
Each characterization was in such a delightful...perfect movie. funny still very touchy
This movie is full of wonderful soulful acting, there are more scenes I cry in when I watch this movie than any other I've ever watched. The timing, the great acting, the innocent times, and so many wonderful truths of live and the heart. Watching this movie will restore your faith in human beings and remind you of the real important things in life! Merry Christmas everyone!
Incredibly moving ! Loved it.
What a fantastic movie! I've always been a great admirer of both Bing Crosby and Ingrid Bergman, and watching them together, in such a finely made movie is a treasure! I've saved the movie, and will watch it many times.
Thank you for posting it on RUclips. I'm indebted to you....
This is my mom's and my favorite Christmas movie. We would watch it together every year.
@mj rockfort whatever makes you happy Skippy.
@Bill Rayvan feel better?
Shawn, my Mother's as well. She has passed away and this is one way I have a precious memory of her. We played all these old movies every year over Xmas break when I was young.
always enjoy this movie no matter how many times I see it
when O'Malley walks in on the nuns gathered round having an enthusiastic conversation -
"What's up Notre Dame win another one" - that is typical Bing - you know he had to adlib that line
thanks for posting
