Going My Way - Trailer [1944] [17th Oscar Best Picture]

A new priest shows up at the parish of a crusty old priest named Father Fitzgibbon. The new man, Father O'Malley, must ingratiate himself with both the old man and his congregation. There are various ups and downs in their relationship but on the whole, it all seems to be going rather well. Then one night, the church burns to the ground. Written by Alfred Jingle

I came here for 5D's.

Well, I wonder what kind of reaction a movie about a Catholic "gay singing priest" who sorrounds himself with you young boys would have today?

[flyingace1939]

I absolutely love this movie, it's the type of film that sheds some light upon this dark and gloomy world we live in. Barry Fitzgerald and Bing Crosby steal the show in this glorious picture.

[Mary-Lynne D]

yes it is. I read that he's the one singing, swinging on a star

[manthasagittarius1]

Don't think so, unless he was one of the little kids. The star was Bing Crosby.

[Dave Hedges]

Would I be right in saying that Going My Way starred a young Andy Williams?!

As to wonderful father, his legacy was tainted by a son's book which was at best muddled by his jealousy about Bing's second wife (after widowhood). I'd rather be influence by Bob Hope's assessment of Bing's character. All things considered, you're obvious anti-catholic bigotry is noted. Catholic church got more press, but all religions have their pedophiles.
