DVD Review
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

Good clean entertainment - Rating: 5/5
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!
A favorite for all time! - Rating: 5/5
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.
Excellent - Rating: 5/5
This is probably my most favorite movie. I had a VHS copy but wanted a DVD and only could find it at Amazon. I highly recommend this movie
Wonderful, feel good movie - Rating: 5/5
This movie now 63 years old is still a wonderful viewing experience. Crosby, Fitzgerald and McHugh portray Irish Catholic priests with such believability due undoubtedly to the fact they were Irish Catholics themselves. As a boy growing up in Connecticut I had occasion to become involved with Irish Catholic priests and I know their performances ring solidly true.
Bing - Rating: 5/5
If you watch this movie and don't get a tear in your eye and a big smile on your face....I would wonder.
Another of Bing's wonderful movies, simple and heart touching.
