Movie Reviews of Going My Way (Universal Cinema Classics)
Movie Review: Marvelous Saintly Storytelling
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is Bing Crosby at his best. When you pair him with the witty genius of Barry Fitzgerald, and the glorious mezzo Metropolitan Opera voice of Rise Stevens, what else does one want?
Why this film did not become its years best picture is beyond me. However, it will always be one of my favorite 10 best.
Summary of Going My Way (Universal Cinema Classics)
This irresistible Oscar winner from writer-director Leo McCarey (An Affair to Remember) stars Bing Crosby as a low-key, crooning priest who joins the parish of a no-nonsense but sweet old Irish man of the cloth (Barry Fitzgerald). While Bing turns local toughs into a choir, the elder priest worries over the church building fund and whether he'll get a chance to see his old mother back in Ireland before she dies. One would have to have a heart of stone not to be won over by this charmer, with a lovely ending guaranteed to make you bawl for a week. --Tom KeoghThis lovable Leo McCarey picture is a sentimental favorite about a dynamic young priest who adds sparkle to a parish overseen by crusty old priest who could sure use some luster. Crosby single-handedly wins over the local toughs by organizing a football team and bolstering the parish coffers with a little ditty he sells. The whole thing just sings.Youthful Father Chuck O Malley (Bing Crosby) led a colorful life of sports song and romance before joining the Roman Catholic clergy but his level gaze and twinkling eyes make it clear that he knows he made the right choice. After joining a parish O Malley s worldly knowledge helps him connect with a gang of kids looking for direction and handle the business details of the church-building fund winning over his aging conventional superior (Barry Fitzgerald). Songs such as "Swinging on a Star" sparkle and both Crosby and Fitzgerald do a fine job tugging at the heartstrings in a gentle irresistible way that will make viewers return to this lovely film again and again. The overwhelming popularity of this film upon its release was only heightened by the many Academy Awards it won and its sequel THE BELLS OF SAINT MARY S starring Crosby and Ingrid Bergman was released in theaters the next year to eager fans and more awards.System Requirements:Run Time: 126 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/CLASSIC Rating: NR UPC: 025193236920 Manufacturer No: 61032369
