Goofs:
Factual errors: When Dr. McKay is showing Father O'Malley Sister Benedict's X-rays, he outlines (with his finger) an area along the heart and lung region and says the problem (tuberculosis) is in the right lung. In reality, he is running his finger along the shadow of the left ventricle which sits up against the left lung.

Remember seeing this movie in the Matinee as a teenager, when it was cheap enough to go to the movies every night. My favourite actress was Ingrid Bergman, and still is after all these years. My favourite Bergman film is Casablanca, of which I've seen 74 times :) but this is my second favourite.
Bergman and Crosby are great together.
