The Nightingale and the Bells is a Canadian musical comedy-drama film, directed by René Delacroix and released in 1952. Considered an important landmark in the Cinema of Quebec, the film stars Gérard Barbeau as Guy Boyer, a young boy with both a penchant for getting into trouble and an exceptionally good singing voice, who is engaged by the local Roman Catholic priest to perform at a concert to raise funds for the church to acquire new bells.
