Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to a TCM narrative, "Come to the Stable" is based on the founding of the Abbey of Regina Laudis in Bethlehem, Conn., which was founded in 1947 by Mother Benedict Duss, O.S.B. and Mother Mary Aline Trilles de Warren, O.S.B. of the Benedictine Abbey of Notre Dame de Jouarre in France. One-time Hollywood actress, Dolores Hart, entered the convent in 1963, later becoming Abbess. Partly because of her acting background, the abbey now sponsors annual summer theatre productions.
- GoofsAfter the tennis match, Sister Scholastica calls Mrs. Townsend-Cooper "Mademoiselle" instead of the correct "Madame" for a married woman.

Featured review
Beautiful poignant story, in the vein of Bells of St. Marys.
"Come to the Stable" is a beautiful, sentimental movie, in the vein of "Bells of St. Marys" and "Going My Way." I saw it many years ago before buying the video and seeing it again. Loretta Young, unquestionably one of the great actresses of all time, is outstanding as a dedicated nun. So is Celeste Holm. It is easy to see why they were nominated for oscars. The picture itself received (I believe) six nominations.
The picture has you pulling for these dedicated nuns to accomplish their task. As with movies of this era, of course they do.
It is well worth watching.
