Description:
Winner of seven Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director, the unforgettable classic Going My Way lights up the screen as it warms the heart. Best Actor winner Bing Crosby shines as Father O'Malley, a young priest new to an established but financially flailing parish. When his philosophies conflict with those of curmudgeonly Father Fitzgibbon (Best Supporting Actor winner Barry Fitzgerald), the result is a timeless story of patience, compromise and - just maybe - understanding. Featuring an all-new digitally remastered picture and filled with mesmerizing music including the Academy Award-winning song 'Swinging on a Star,' Going My Way exemplifies the silver screen at its golden best! '****! Hard to resist!' (Leonard Maltin)
Amazon.com essential video:
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 Keogh

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Classic Musical
Going My Way (Universal Cinema Classics)
The Bells of St. Mary's
If you like musicals, these two are some of the best.
They don't get any better than this.
Rating: - Going my way
This is a wonderful classis. Perfect anytime of year but especially for the Christmas and holiday season.
Rating: - Marvelous Saintly Storytelling
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.
Rating: - Good clean entertainment
For those of you who are tired of the violence, filthy language,raw sarcasm, and constant bombardment of sex in today's films, you will find Going My Way an endearing and refreshing change of pace. This is a movie for anyone anytime. Don't forget to watch its sequel, The Bell's of Saint Mary. I'm not Catholic nor do I want to be - this family film is just plain enjoyable!
Rating: - A favorite for all time!
I LOVE to see this movie at the Holidays. I had it, this year,
for Thanksgiving Weekend, and it put me in the Christmas Spirit.
I ALWAYS cry at the end, and that, to me is the sign of an authentic
story. It never gets old, just better.
Times were simpler and we could all use a little bit of that.
