Cheers for Miss Bishop - Digitally Remastered Similar in tone to "Goodbye Mr. Chips," schoolteacher Ella Bishop (Martha Scott) devotes her life to her work, ageing 50 years (from 19 to 69) in the course of the film. At a testimonial dinner on the occasion of her retirement, Miss Bishop's former students wonder why their beloved teacher never married. In flashbacks, the audience learns that town grocer Sam (William Gargan) has carried a torch for her for five decades while she obliviously pursued unfortunate romantic relationships with weak-willed Delbert Thompson (Donald Douglas) and unhappily married John Stevens (Sidney Blackmer). Adapted by Stephen Vincent Benet from the novel by Bess Streeter Aldrich, "Cheers for Miss Bishop" was not only a tour de force for Scott, but also represented the screen debut of another young character actress, Rosemary De Camp. "Cheers for Miss Bishop" earned Edward Ward an Academy Award nomination for Best Scoring of a Dramatic Film.
