Previously released by Republic on DVD, Olive Films has announced the DVD and Blu-Ray release of The Bells of St. Mary's (1945) with a scheduled street date of November 19th.
Unlike many of Olive's offerings, Bells includes a bonus feature: The Look of Love: An Essay by Film Critic R. Emmet Sweeney.
Witty, heartwarming and one of the most beloved classics of all time, The Bells of St. Mary's delivers all the entertainment of its predecessor, the award winning Going My Way. Bing Crosby recreates his Oscar-winning (Best Actor) role as parish priest Father O’Malley.
The easy-going O’Malley is sent to revive a financially ailing parochial school and immediately finds himself at odds with no-nonsense Sister Benedict (Ingrid Bergman) on how to educate the children. Beyond their delightful battle of wits lies a bigger problem--the skinflint businessman next door (Henry Travers) wants St. Mary’s condemned, so he can build a parking lot for his employees.
Only a miracle can save St. Mary’s now … how a devilish situation finds a heavenly solution remains to be seen in this captivating family classic that was nominated for eight Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress. Directed by Leo McCarey (Going My Way).
BONUS FEATURE:
- The Look of Love: An Essay by Film Critic R. Emmet Sweeney
