The Bells of St. Mary's is an American drama film and directed by Leo McCarey and starring Bing Crosby and Ingrid Bergman. Written by Dudley Nichols and based on a story by Leo McCarey, the film is about a priest and a nun who, despite their good-natured rivalry, try to save their school from being shut down; the character Father O'Malley had been portrayed by Crosby in the 1944 film Going My Way, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor. The film was produced by Rainbow Productions; the unconventional Father Charles "Chuck" O'Malley is assigned to St. Mary's parish, which includes a run-down inner-city school building on the verge of being condemned. O'Malley is to recommend whether or not the school should be closed and the children sent to another school with modern facilities, they put their hopes in Horace P. Bogardus, a businessman who has constructed a modern building next door to the school which they hope he will donate to them. Father O'Malley and the dedicated but stubborn Sister Superior, Mary Benedict, both wish to save the school, but their different views and methods lead to disagreements.

One such involves student Eddie, being bullied by another. A more serious one regards the promotion of an eighth-grade student, Patsy of Syracuse, New York, whom the parish has taken in while her mother attempts to get back on her feet. At one point, Sister Benedict contracts tuberculosis, the physician recommends to Father O'Malley that she be transferred to a dry climate with non-parochial duties, but without telling her the reason, she assumes the transfer is because of her disagreements with O'Malley, struggles to understand the reasons for the path set out for her. Just before Sister Benedict departs, Father O'Malley reveals the true reason for her temporary transfer. Bosley Crowther of The New York Times felt that the film was too similar to Going My Way, "although a plenteous and sometimes winning show, lacks the charm of its predecessor—and that comparison cannot be escaped." Variety wrote: "Picture is packed with many simple scenes that tug at the heart and loosen the tears as directed by McCarey and played by the outstanding cast."

Harrison's Reports wrote: "As in Going My Way, which he wrote and directed, Leo McCarey has proved again that great pictures do not require pretentious stories... The acting of the entire cast is excellent. Crosby delights one with his ease and natural charm, Miss Bergman will undoubtedly rise to new heights of popularity because of the effective way in which she portrays her role." John McCarten of The New Yorker wrote derisively that "Mr. McCarey seems to view the Roman Catholic Church, quite a formidable and venerable organization, as a kind of settlement house where good works and jollity provide a lively substitute for religion... Everything, of course, turns out quite except for those captious souls who regard religion as an adult matter."The Bells of St. Mary's placed fourth on Film Daily's year-end nationwide poll of 559 critics naming the best films of 1946; the film was enormously popular, earning receipts of $8 million in North America during its initial run, making it the highest-grossing movie of 1945 in the USA.

It made a profit of $3,715,000, making it the most profitable film in the history of RKO. Adjusted for inflation, it is considered the 57th highest-grossing film of all time.
