Editorial Reviews From the Actor
Although Martha Scott,s outstanding talent as an actress won her a nomination for an Oscar (Our Town, 1940), she was, sadly, never credited as a box-office attraction. During her long and illustrious career, Martha played Charlton Heston,s mother twice - in Ben Hur, and The Ten Commandments. Probably the highest tribute paid to her talents was by the enigmatic Heston himself, who says in his memoirs, I could vouch for her (Martha) absolutely, both as actress and pro,. Martha Scott has played a memorable role in \"Cheers for Miss Bishop\", one which won her millions of fans worldwide. A2zcdds has given Martha,s countless admirers across the United States a reason for celebration, by preserving this timeless classic on DVD. A2ZCDS have brought this old Hollywood Classic feature films on DVD.
THE PLOT: Life could not have been better for Ella Bishop (Martha Scott) who is offered a teaching position at the Midwestern University soon after her graduation - till the irresistible Delbert Thompson (Donald Douglas) walks into her life one cold wintry night. Her ecstasy, however, is short-lived and she looses the only man she ever loved to her jealous cousin Amy (Mary Anderson) . Propped up by her resolve to serve the students at Midwestern and with a little help from her long-time admirer Sam Peters (William Gargan) , Ella decides to face every challenge that life could possibly throw at her. Nothing can stop her, not even a second disastrous attempt at winning a man,s heart!.
Product Description
Martha Scott,s brilliant performance stands out among a host of great ones in this unforgettable and heartbreaking old movie about a woman who won every heart except the one she truly cherished. Yes, this touching film belongs to Martha Scott who seems to have saved her best for Cheers for Miss Bishop.
The narrative covers the life of a dedicated teacher who puts her own interests on the back burner, preferring to devote her energies for the advancement of education at the Midwestern University. The role was tailor-made for the charming and dignified Scott who did not disappoint either director Tay Garnett or her innumerable adoring fans across the U.S.
Scott,s ability to convey even the subtlest emotions with ease and conviction is what sets her apart as a fabulous artist. Excellent performances by her co-actors, insightful direction by Tay Garnett and imaginative camera work by lens man Hal Mohr superbly support her memorable contribution to the success of this Hollywood classic.
Seldom has an actress been credited with carrying a movie single handedly, and Scott is surely among the exceptions. Her poise and self-assurance lends an aura of invincibility to the character she portrays.
Experience this moving saga of a woman who, though heartbroken, faced life with dignity and till the very end.
