Come To The Stable Part One
Finding this movie anywhere used to be a rather difficult task. I recorded it some years back and ran it in its entirety on Veoh last year to good response. While Come to the Stable is not exactly a Christmas movie in the sense that it takes place during that time of year, it does embody all the themes that a Good Christmas film should have, not to mention Loretta Young and Celeste Holmes as a couple of nuns who set out to build a hospital to keep a promise the made to God during WWII. So when I was young, this movie was paraded out with all the other Christmas movies for the same reason that Going My Way and Bells of St. Mary's was trotted out on the local station late shows the week before Christmas. It just wasn't Christmas without priests and nuns. All kidding aside this is an uplifting tug on your heart strings make you feel warm inside kind of movie. Both Young and Holmes are terrific along with Hugh Marlowe and Elsa Lanchester. In Part One, Sisters Margret and Scholastica arrive in Bethlehem to meet Mrs. Potts, whose paintings they have long admired. Mrs. Potts, who seems a bit flustered at the fact that they will be spending the night does not catch on to the fact that the nuns will be staying much longer than a 24 hour sleep over.
