The Nativity Play from The Bells of St. Mary’s

Posted on December 25, 2019 at 7:48 am

One of the sweetest Nativity plays of all time, from Bing Crosby’s “Bells of St. Mary’s” with Ingrid Bergman. You can tell that the children improvised much of it themselves — and that Bing knows and is charmed by it.

Merry Christmas!
