In 1954, Cinecraft Productions made a movie for the centennial of the Sisters of the Holy Humility of Mary, a Catholic order founded in France. Paul Culley, according to an interview he gave in 1999, came up with the name of the movie "Magnificat," which refers to a hymn about the Virgin Mary used in Catholic liturgy. The Order later decided to use the name of the film when the following year it founded Magnificat High School in Rocky River, Ohio. Shown in the photograph along with two nuns from the Order are scriptwriter Frank Siedel (left) and Ray Culley (center). | Source: Hagley Museum and Library, Cinecraft Productions CollectionDownload Original File
