This 1949 classic is about two nuns who come from France to build a children's hospital. Sister Margaret (Loretta Young) and Sister Scholastica (Celeste Holm) are on a mission from God. Basically they have impossible odds, but there is something that blind faith builds that anything else can't.
You see they were in France during the war (WWII) and they received a post card with a nativity scene entitled "Cone to the Stable" by a Miss Potts. And it told all about this town in New England called Bethlehem. They promised god that if they made it out alive, they would go to America, and build a hospital. Sounds far fetched doesn't it? Well get over it, because the far fetchedness is just beginning.
They meet Robert Masen (Hugh Marlowe) their neighbor, eventual detractor, and savior. They tell him their story and what they plan to do. He doesn't believe it, but nobody wants to say anything to a nun. They have to go to New York City, and find a mobster to see if he would be interested in donating some land. Against all odds, he is. They see the property adjoining them is for sale, and it has a building (witch hazel factory) already on it, they enter into a deal to purchase it. They only have 3 months to do it. So they come up with all kinds of different ways that they can make it.
There's laughter, there's hope, there's a little bit of everything.

Keep in mind there are visa or mastercard cons on the market also. A lot of those predatory businesses take advantage of people with under stellar credit. Some fraudulent firms for instance will offer credit cards for any charge. When you submit the money, they deliver applications to complete as opposed to a new bank card.
