Episode 147: The Bells of St. Mary's

ABOUT THE EPISODE:

While Suzan did not take David’s suggestion and just cut in a few key words and phrases to the previous episode for 1944’s Going My Way, the sequel, The Bells of St. Mary’s, is so similar that it was a half-way legitimate suggestion. Bing Crosby returns to the screen as Father Chuck O’Malley, here to save yet another church and yet another late teen girl, this time with a trusty sidekick nun played by Ingrid Bergman. While the movie is worth skipping, there’s one fantastic scene you should definitely hear about and watch, but it unfortunately is not Crosby and Bergman making out, despite their electrifying, if confusing, chemistry.
