Cheers for Miss Bishop

Rating:
Summary: A Great, Heartwarming Story
Review: "Cheers For Miss Bishop" is one of those undiscovered classics that have virtually been ignored. This film has much of the sentimental flavor of Frank Capra's "It's A Wonderful Life"--which was also ignored for decades before another generation came along and "discovered" it.Martha Scott's portrayal of Miss Ella Bishop, the spinster college professor who's eternally unlucky at love, is a thoroughly convincing performance. She is surrounded by a great cast of character actors. The ending is a bit schmaltsy, but satisfying nonetheless. See this film and return back to a time when you could count on having friends for a lifetime.

Summary: "A Toast to Martha Scott"
Review: I have seen this movie only once, as a young child.I have much respect for a movie that touched my heart. If I can remember a movie;such as this one for many years and haven't seen it again. You know somehow through my life growing up, now as an adult, I feel somehow through the years the memories of Cheers for Miss Bishop , will never go away, I'd love to find this movie again and hopefully have one for myself. Truthfully, Martha Scott did a remarkably superb job in this magnificent film as Miss Ella Bishop. I raise my hat off to her and toast a lady who did very well in her field.

Summary: Martha Scott's best performance as dedicated teacher.
Review: The film belongs to Martha Scott who gives her best screen performance as Miss Bishop, a dedicated teacher, whose personal life is constantly being put on hold as she ministers to the needs of her pupils. Scott ages from a schoolgirl to an octogenarian and does a lovely, memorable job. The sentimental score is a plus. Oscar nom for Original Score.
