About The Miracle of the Bells in brief
The Miracle of the Bells is a 1948 American drama film produced by RKO. It stars Fred MacMurray, Alida Valli, Frank Sinatra, and Lee J. Cobb. The film is based on a novel by Russell Janney. Several exterior scenes were shot on location in Glen Lyon, Pennsylvania, the fictional mining town of Coaltown. It was released at the same time that Ingrid Bergman’s The Miracle of Joan of Arc, which was also released in 1948, was released. Many of the extras in the film were working for the Glen-Alden Coal Company, which encountered a boycott for the film’s distribution in England because of the distribution difficulties of the film in England of the 1950s.
The movie was not a success upon release, unlike the fictional Joan ofArc depicted in The Miracle Of The Bells, which is a much more highly highly regarded film today. It is now considered one of the best films of the 20th century, along with The Great Gatsby and The Godfather, among other films. It has been described as “one of the greatest films of all time” and “a masterpiece of American cinema”. The film was released in the U.S. on December 17, 1948. It also opened in the UK on December 18, 1948, and in the United States on December 19, 1949, and on December 20, 1950.
