@@margaretrobertson967 So many babies are not being baptized over the past 30 years and that is the serious issue...baptism connects us with God by removing original sin and instilling the virtues of "Faith, Hope and Love" to the soul! God bless!
It’s all doom and violence from Hollywood films with very poor acting. Even so called Christmas movies are worse than B movies, we now call the D- movies a total waste of time watching them. One by one all the really talented actors and actresses are dying.
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 is BULLSHIT - go to 10:31 they cut out the REAL pledge of allegiance which includes "AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My beloved father loved this movie. I watched it tonight for the first time. It’s been 3 years since his passing and in honor of him I chose to watch it. I see why my father loved this movie. …heartfelt tears and love….
Yup..great memories with our beloved Dads and Moms. Watched it often at Christmastime since it first showed...? Mid 50s. Merry Merry Christmas and many happy memories to you and yours.

PURITY, INNER JOY, PEACE, TRUE LOVE... all enveloped in this ageless motion picture. GOD BLESS THE WRITER, PRODUCERS, AND ALL CASTS OF THIS PRICELESSS GEM. My spirit is SOOOO lifted up. Thank you Jesus 🙏🙏🙏
Your right. They certainly don't make films like this anymore. They are classics. When there was a time of morals, family values. No smut, foul language, taking the Lords name in vane. Thanks be to God. Praise Jesus. 🙏🙏🙏

Watching this film was always a holiday tradition for my father and me. He passed away on Christmas Day 2016; I miss him so much. Love you, Dad. Thanks for the beautiful family film.
When the children are saying the pledge of allegiance the part “under God” is not there! I was surprised so I looked it up and “under God” was not added until 1954. This was made 1945. Never knew this
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.
One of my favorite Catholic movies of all time. This was back when America still had a soul and loved what was good. In our time no one can understand the love between priests and nuns that transcends any notion of sex. It's emphasis was on practical living our faith. I really like sister giving the kid boxing lessons... It seams that father and sister complimented each others strengths and weaknesses for the common good.
spasjt Thank you... May the time come when the Church is once again honored for what she truly is. The light of the world in Christ's physical absence.
Now I am not Catholic, and certainly respect everyone's right to worship the way they see best for them. I agree with you that this was when political correctness was not a thought in our national conscience and religion was well respected, and America loved what was good. I really liked that part, America loved what was good. This movie and the prequel, Going My Way, are certainly two excellent examples of what was good.
I totally agree on your take of this movie! Somewhere along the way Hollywood lost imagination, and the actors lost their ability to act. The more C.G., and more skin shown constitutes a great movie in today's world. The more I watch these old movies, the less I like today's Hollywood! The old Hollywood took great stories and great actors and put them together, but always left room for the viewers imagination. Ingrid Bergman was the true definition of a STAR!
This is BULLSHIT - go to 10:31 they cut out the REAL pledge of allegiance which includes "AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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!
I'm Irish & this was ESSENTIAL watching every Christmas. The whole family (9 of us) sat down & watched it when this came on. Lots of happy memories. Thanks for posting this xx
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!
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.
This film resonates with all Parochial School people I am sure. That innocence of grade school we can still get in touch with decades later. The Sisters, the jokes on the board, the schoolyard fights, the excitement and wonder of Christmas, the future in front of us at graduation. I never get tired of it.

What??The abuse the horrible things nuns would say to us knowing they would get away with anything and I won't even go into what the priests were doing. Oh yeah great times.
I remember watching this as a child. They used to screen it on Christmas Eve and it never failed to make me cry but in a good way. It was the perfect way to start Christmas.
@@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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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......!!!!!!!!!!
When the children are saying the pledge of allegiance the part “under God” is not there! I was surprised so I looked it up and “under God” was not added until 1954. This was made 1945. Never knew this
I can't believe that I had never seen this movie until now. I always knew it was a classic, but I had never actually seen it. What great lessons to be learned from it! A spiritual masterpiece!
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.
I grew up in this era and went to catholic school, the nuns were great and so were the priests. I am now 75, and thankful I had such a good upbringing and a great family.
@@hmldjr Thanks, I'm glad someone agrees with me. The kids in my school got slapped bloody by those vicious nuns for the most littlest reasons. And they weren't bad kids either. One nun stood behind me and slapped me hard on the back of my head every time I misspelled a word and that went on and on for the entire spelling test, when I got home I wanted to kill myself I was so shook up. I was a quiet shy kid, and I never got out of line but I got the pointer stick across both hands several times just for being a little late. I hope those abusive nuns rot in hell.
j drex Your parents must have been donating big bucks to the church for you to get special consideration, because those kids who had parents who gave a good pile of money were left alone by those brutal nuns. unfortunately, I came form a poor family, so I got slapped around all the time , and I was a shy quiet kid and I never got out of line. So don't say I deserved it, no kid deserves to be abused the way the kids in my school were.
@@leeclark4495 The nuns were bastards. The principal at my school broke a kid's hand with a steel ruler and the nus would bash your head against the black board or wall as punishment. Don't give me the crap that was shoveled in this movie. They were bastards.
@@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 ..
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! 🙏🏼
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’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 .
Going to start Christmas morning watching for the first time. Blessings for all who believe and receive salvation by Grace of God Almighty Faith in Christ and the Holy Spirit. Amen🙏❤
Alison Klein Merry Christmas and God bless you. Are used to watch this every year with my dad now I want to get with my kids and grandkids. Such a great movie. I wish you a blessed and holy new year.
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.
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.
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 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.
i remember this at 12 years old brought tears than 50yrs on and still brings tears a beautiful bing crosby and cast never to be repeated forever grateful thank you
My mother and grandmother watched The Bells of St. Mary's at Christmas time for many many many years and I just watched it for the first time myself and it was such a beautiful movie Merry Christmas everyone
I started watching and got so enraged after 10 minutes of this crap because all I can think about are beaten and abused children, I had to stop. Have to find some Christmas movie without the Catholic pretence of decency.
Beth S It’s so sad that you think that about Catholic schools. I was a little girl who attended parochial school and I never saw anybody hit or beaten or abused. We were educated very well. We were taught to love God and our country. We were taught discipline and kindness. The sisters were very good at moving mountains through prayer and sacrifice. They were very poor and truly knew how to stretch a dollar. We used donated paper that had been used on one side because they couldn’t afford new paper but we learned well. There was never any ugliness, it was the 50’s. My family watched this wonderful movie every Christmas and loved it.
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!!!
One of my favorites..when I'm feeling down I watch this to remember though it's an old movie it shows God is still there for us even though I feel all alone..❤
A Beautiful gift to your Wife Penny. Thank you for sharing this gift with us all. I never tire of watching it. I read everyone's comments. It is a Wonderful Movie about moral's , values. They have not changed as some say. They are instilled in us all. We must remember that. For kindness to life and all we experience , how we conduct ourselves is where ones values lye. What's in our heart's and Soul's. It's to walk with the Grace of God.
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👏
Seeing the sisters takes me back to my Catholic school days. They were tuff on us but we learned our religion, which has got me through life. I thank them.
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....
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.
People may say I've been living under a rock to have missed this holiday classic all these years, but better late than never. I love movies of this era and was seeking those with a Christmas theme. This certainly did not disappoint. There is magic in the acting back then: subtle, honest, clear. To say that nothing like this has existed for awhile now is an obvious understatement. This year, at this time, I am grateful to those people who still cherish these precious memories and are kind enough to share them with others like me who would likely never come across them otherwise. God bless, Merry Christmas, and the peace of the season in the New Year as well.
Beautiful movie... Makes me think , what in the world happened to this society we now live in ... When there is no fear of God ... This is what you have ... An immoral society ... God Bless you all ... Jim from Chicago .... Keep the Great movies alive ... ❤
I’m 60 years old and this is my first time watching this Beautiful movie! I’m overwhelmed with emotion at the ending ! It was so very touching ❤️ I loved it so much!!!!!
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
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!
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.
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.
I watched this movie as a child and loved it so much. I have rewatched it occasionally over the years but not for a long time. It is simply breathtaking! Thank you so much to Clark Leeth for posting it here.
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.
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.
How good it is not to have to wait until Christmas time to maybe catch this being shown on television, truly we are blessed and being able to watch it anytime we want as often as we want. And in these days of coronavirus and all the challenges it brings, what better prayer could possibly exist then those simple humble words prayed by Sister Benedict all those decades ago. Help me Lord, please help me
This movie will jerk your heart out more than any other I've ever seen, yet I come back year after year to watch. What a wonderful life giving piece of work this is. Thank you
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.

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......
I went to Parochial school for eight years and taught by the Sister of charity ,all Irish, and was fortunate to have a formal education, when times were very hard for most of my friends, I know that education made me the man I am to day, an old fashion gentleman,70 years later , still hold the door open for a women,, thanks MOM and DAD you were the Best.Love your son
One of my favorite movies! I especially get a kick out of the 1st graders' version of the Nativity scene and singing "Happy Birthday" - absolutely precious! The entire scene doesn't look rehearsed at all; looks like it just took one take. Thank you Clark Leeth for sharing this!

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.
Ive known of this movie for most of my life but, had never watched it. I turned 69 yrs old 2 days ago and have not been dealing with it very well. I lost my husband almost 5 yrs ago and as Ive gotten older, losing him has become more and more painful. He had always been my strength and not having him with me has been very difficult. We had 45 very good years together. Ive not enjoyed the Christmas season or my birthday without him. This movie has cheered me up and helped me understand that God hasnt left me alone or without purpose. Ive realized that I need to be here as long as possible for my daughters and 3 grandchildren. I do, still, have a purpose. Im very, very glad I watched this.

I agreed
Great movies
I watch English or Spanish both versions are great.....
Life was much kinder then People we’re connected and closer to God
@@margaretrobertson967 So many babies are not being baptized over the past 30 years and that is the serious issue...baptism connects us with God by removing original sin and instilling the virtues of "Faith, Hope and Love" to the soul! God bless!
So true! I look for the older movies today...if I see it is modern I shy away... so much evil from Hollywood today...sick really!
It’s all doom and violence from Hollywood films with very poor acting. Even so called Christmas movies are worse than B movies, we now call the D- movies a total waste of time watching them. One by one all the really talented actors and actresses are dying.
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.
Love this movie...great during the Holidays...
That is very interesting. I love this movie. My brother was a Catholic priest in Chicago.
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.
How nice , Thank you for sharing.Wonderful movie Merry Christmas.
One of my favorite movies of all time. They don't make them like this anymore. A real feel good movie. This is what life should be like!
But as we all know by 2022, it really never was ...
True. They only make movie of sex & violence in this woke age. This was made in the golden age of hollywood when we celebrate beauty & kindness.
The world would be a better place if we all watched this film I love this film it reminds me of the best days of my life
lllllllll
This is BULLSHIT - go to 10:31 they cut out the REAL pledge of allegiance which includes "AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My beloved father loved this movie. I watched it tonight for the first time. It’s been 3 years since his passing and in honor of him I chose to watch it. I see why my father loved this movie. …heartfelt tears and love….
I’m so sorry for your loss. This is a beautiful way to remember your father.
if you listen real hard you might hear him next to you watching the movie also
May he rest in peace
Yup..great memories with our beloved Dads and Moms. Watched it often at Christmastime since it first showed...? Mid 50s.
Merry Merry Christmas and many happy memories to you and yours.

The Bells of St. Mary's and Going My Way are two of my favorite old movies.
I grew up in NY in the 60's. We watched this every year around Christmas. My Dad looked and sang like Bing. Good memories!
The children singing happy birthday dear Jesus was priceless. What a great movie.
The children were amazing so sweet!
I am glad I stumbled upon this.... Children can be so much of a blessing
Everytime I hear "Happy Birthday Jesus" I always think of Full Metal Jacket
It’s a little bit not good
The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir recorded a beautiful song called Happy Birthday Jesus. I would love to have my Sunday School kids sing it one year.
PURITY, INNER JOY, PEACE, TRUE LOVE... all enveloped in this ageless motion picture. GOD BLESS THE WRITER, PRODUCERS, AND ALL CASTS OF THIS PRICELESSS GEM. My spirit is SOOOO lifted up. Thank you Jesus 🙏🙏🙏
This movie sucks
Your right. They certainly don't make films like this anymore. They are classics. When there was a time of morals, family values. No smut, foul language, taking the Lords name in vane. Thanks be to God. Praise Jesus. 🙏🙏🙏
Not if they cut God from it. Right in the beginning too.

A brilliant movie which could not be made in this day & age.We have lost so much in morals & values.These movies are to be cherished.

Watching this film was always a holiday tradition for my father and me. He passed away on Christmas Day 2016; I miss him so much. Love you, Dad. Thanks for the beautiful family film.
When the children are saying the pledge of allegiance the part “under God” is not there! I was surprised so I looked it up and “under God” was not added until 1954. This was made 1945. Never knew this
@@Q.Gold30 yes…the “under God” was added during the communist scare in the 1950s.
@@kaymuldoon3575 Hi
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.
Here we are again at next year. One of the best classic movies. Just love🕊⚘🎄
One of my favorite Catholic movies of all time. This was back when America still had a soul and loved what was good. In our time no one can understand the love between priests and nuns that transcends any notion of sex. It's emphasis was on practical living our faith. I really like sister giving the kid boxing lessons... It seams that father and sister complimented each others strengths and weaknesses for the common good.

Thank you... May the time come when the Church is once again honored for what she truly is. The light of the world in Christ's physical absence.
Now I am not Catholic, and certainly respect everyone's right to worship the way they see best for them. I agree with you that this was when political correctness was not a thought in our national conscience and religion was well respected, and America loved what was good. I really liked that part, America loved what was good. This movie and the prequel, Going My Way, are certainly two excellent examples of what was good.
Oh God Bless you! Say your rosary and pray, fatima prophecies are happening right now
I totally agree on your take of this movie! Somewhere along the way Hollywood lost imagination, and the actors lost their ability to act. The more C.G., and more skin shown constitutes a great movie in today's world. The more I watch these old movies, the less I like today's Hollywood! The old Hollywood took great stories and great actors and put them together, but always left room for the viewers imagination. Ingrid Bergman was the true definition of a STAR!
What a beautiful movie! So simplistic yet so heartwarming. May God heal our society today. 🙏
This is BULLSHIT - go to 10:31 they cut out the REAL pledge of allegiance which includes "AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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!
I'm Irish & this was ESSENTIAL watching every Christmas. The whole family (9 of us) sat down & watched it when this came on. Lots of happy memories. Thanks for posting this xx
Merry Christmas to you all!
Ireland is now killing its babies.
I just love this movie so much. I wish the world would be more like this today. God Bless and Merry Christmas!
I am also am Irish Blessed. My Dad looked like just, Bing Cosby. And sang like him . I've been watching this movie. Since age 5 .
Same ❤
What the ...has happened to Hollywood the last two decades! No such beautiful movies and good actors like these anymore!
Garbage these days
Cultural shifts, film economics, maybe writers' strikes?
The Hollywood people are allergic to anything wholesome.@@destubae3271
I have watched this movie with my Mom since I was a child. Even though she's gone I still watch it and think of her.
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!

This film resonates with all Parochial School people I am sure. That innocence of grade school we can still get in touch with decades later. The Sisters, the jokes on the board, the schoolyard fights, the excitement and wonder of Christmas, the future in front of us at graduation. I never get tired of it.
Thank you Christine.

What??The abuse the horrible things nuns would say to us knowing they would get away with anything and I won't even go into what the priests were doing. Oh yeah great times.
@@chetyoubetya8565 Well, I don't know where you went to school but nothing of the sort happened to me or any parochial school person I know.
I remember watching this as a child. They used to screen it on Christmas Eve and it never failed to make me cry but in a good way. It was the perfect way to start Christmas.
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.

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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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
She is sooooo BEAUTIFUL, it’s unreal how even in black and white her glow just shines straight through to your heart
She’s has more class and beauty than these so called famous today.
You better believe it....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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

Ever since I was a child I have seen this picture over and over countless times and I have never been bored watching it!
I can't believe that I had never seen this movie until now. I always knew it was a classic, but I had never actually seen it. What great lessons to be learned from it! A spiritual masterpiece!
😭😭"Stop me if you've heard this, father"... He said go on, the trademark of a true good Pastor👏🏼🙌🏼💖💗✌🏼
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.
I love this movie, it's moving and sweet, and Bing and Ingrid, had good chemistry working together on this timeless classic.
What an incredible and soul loving movie this is. It has so much wisdom and teaches us how we must live.
I never get tired of seeing this -- everyone is so great -- and the message of unconditional love and trust is much needed in this world -
I grew up in this era and went to catholic school, the nuns were great and so were the priests. I am now 75, and thankful I had such a good upbringing and a great family.
I'm around your age, and in my school the nuns were brutal and cruel.
@@leeclark4495 in my school too.
@@hmldjr Thanks, I'm glad someone agrees with me. The kids in my school got slapped bloody by those vicious nuns for the most littlest reasons. And they weren't bad kids either. One nun stood behind me and slapped me hard on the back of my head every time I misspelled a word and
that went on and on for the entire spelling test, when I got home I wanted to kill myself I was so shook up. I was a quiet shy kid, and I never got out of line but I got the pointer stick across both hands several times just for being a little late. I hope those abusive nuns rot in hell.
j drex Your parents must have been donating big bucks to the church for you to get special consideration, because those kids who had parents who gave a good pile of money were left alone by those brutal nuns. unfortunately, I came form a poor family, so I got slapped around all the time , and I was a shy quiet kid and I never got out of line. So don't say I deserved it, no kid deserves to be abused the way the kids in my school were.
@@leeclark4495 The nuns were bastards. The principal at my school broke a kid's hand with a steel ruler and the nus would bash your head against the black board or wall as punishment. Don't give me the crap that was shoveled in this movie. They were bastards.
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 ..
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!!❤️
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.
watching while isolating corona virus, thought ols movies may cheer us all up, and crying and laughing, wonderful movie
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!
Going to start Christmas morning watching for the first time. Blessings for all who believe and receive salvation by Grace of God Almighty Faith in Christ and the Holy Spirit. Amen🙏❤
Alison Klein Merry Christmas and God bless you. Are used to watch this every year with my dad now I want to get with my kids and grandkids. Such a great movie. I wish you a blessed and holy new year.
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.
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.
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!
Love this movie, the ending makes me cry, such a great ending. They just don't make great movies like this anymore, thanks.
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.
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.
I used to watch this with my dad every Christmas. Such a beautiful movie. Now I watch it with my kids and grandkids! Timeless perfection!
i remember this at 12 years old brought tears than 50yrs on and still brings tears a beautiful bing crosby and cast never to be repeated forever grateful thank you
My mother and grandmother watched The Bells of St. Mary's at Christmas time for many many many years and I just watched it for the first time myself and it was such a beautiful movie Merry Christmas everyone
I started watching and got so enraged after 10 minutes of this crap because all I can think about are beaten and abused children, I had to stop. Have to find some Christmas movie without the Catholic pretence of decency.
Beth S It’s so sad that you think that about Catholic schools. I was a little girl who attended parochial school and I never saw anybody hit or beaten or abused. We were educated very well. We were taught to love God and our country. We were taught discipline and kindness. The sisters were very good at moving mountains through prayer and sacrifice. They were very poor and truly knew how to stretch a dollar. We used donated paper that had been used on one side because they couldn’t afford new paper but we learned well. There was never any ugliness, it was the 50’s. My family watched this wonderful movie every Christmas and loved it.
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❤️❤️❤️❤️
One of my favorites..when I'm feeling down I watch this to remember though it's an old movie it shows God is still there for us even though I feel all alone..❤
A Beautiful gift to your Wife Penny. Thank you for sharing this gift with us all. I never tire of watching it. I read everyone's comments. It is a Wonderful Movie about moral's , values. They have not changed as some say. They are instilled in us all. We must remember that. For kindness to life and all we experience , how we conduct ourselves is where ones values lye. What's in our heart's and Soul's. It's to walk with the Grace of God.
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👏
Seeing the sisters takes me back to my Catholic school days. They were tuff on us but we learned our religion, which has got me through life. I thank them.
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

She taught "Eddie" how to box.
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....
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......
People may say I've been living under a rock to have missed this holiday classic all these years, but better late than never. I love movies of this era and was seeking those with a Christmas theme. This certainly did not disappoint. There is magic in the acting back then: subtle, honest, clear. To say that nothing like this has existed for awhile now is an obvious understatement. This year, at this time, I am grateful to those people who still cherish these precious memories and are kind enough to share them with others like me who would likely never come across them otherwise. God bless, Merry Christmas, and the peace of the season in the New Year as well.
Just saw this for 1st time. How did i never see this before? Beautiful classic!
A Holiday Classic! Use to watch this movie with my dad years ago before he died in 1994! Memories....🙏❤️✝️😊
It is very heartwarming to see movies like this...so refreshing and so inspiring. Praise God.
Beautiful movie... Makes me think , what in the world happened to this society we now live in ... When there is no fear of God ... This is what you have ... An immoral society ... God Bless you all ... Jim from Chicago .... Keep the Great movies alive ... ❤
How sweet that you put this up for your wife, Penny, and for all of us. Gloria in excelsis Deo 😍
I’m 60 years old and this is my first time watching this Beautiful movie! I’m overwhelmed with emotion at the ending ! It was so very touching ❤️ I loved it so much!!!!!
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.
what a gem of a movie! I am overwhelmed by the beauty of it! This is a perfect movie!
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.
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!
Exceptional performance by Ingrid
I wish they made films like this now adays when people need hope and faith more than ever
Love the old moral movies. It’s also good to see religious people depicted with real feelings. Merry Christmas and God blessings on you.

+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.

One of my all time favorites! They can take away all this other crap, these heartwarming movies suit me just fine.
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.
How good it is not to have to wait until Christmas time to maybe catch this being shown on television, truly we are blessed and being able to watch it anytime we want as often as we want. And in these days of coronavirus and all the challenges it brings, what better prayer could possibly exist then those simple humble words prayed by Sister Benedict all those decades ago. Help me Lord, please help me
First time I watched this move . Beautiful it's shows faith in the Lord can move mountains
This movie will jerk your heart out more than any other I've ever seen, yet I come back year after year to watch. What a wonderful life giving piece of work this is. Thank you
I found this beautiful movie a few weeks ago on DVD for $1.00 at the local Goodwill. I would like to thank whoever donated it !

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......
I went to Parochial school for eight years and taught by the Sister of charity ,all Irish, and was fortunate to have a formal education, when times were very hard for most of my friends, I know that education made me the man I am to day, an old fashion gentleman,70 years later , still hold the door open for a women,, thanks MOM and DAD you were the Best.Love your son
One of my favorite movies! I especially get a kick out of the 1st graders' version of the Nativity scene and singing "Happy Birthday" - absolutely precious! The entire scene doesn't look rehearsed at all; looks like it just took one take. Thank you Clark Leeth for sharing this!
It wasn't rehearsed. The director simply let the kids improvise, and filmed it as is.
Yes, I loved that scene too! I hadn't seen this movie before, so thank you Clark Leeth for sharing it.
Agree, my absolute favorite part of this wonderful movie!
how could anyone God fearing American give this a thumbs down! Awesome movie great memories!

Fantastic piece of film making ...
A rare sight these days
Ive known of this movie for most of my life but, had never watched it. I turned 69 yrs old 2 days ago and have not been dealing with it very well.
I lost my husband almost 5 yrs ago and as Ive gotten older, losing him has become more and more painful. He had always been my strength and not having him with me has been very difficult. We had 45 very good years together.
Ive not enjoyed the Christmas season or my birthday without him. This movie has cheered me up and helped me understand that God hasnt left me alone or without purpose. Ive realized that I need to be here as long as possible for my daughters and 3 grandchildren. I do, still, have a purpose.
Im very, very glad I watched this.
