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
Product Description
This 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

 Marvelous Saintly Storytelling April 19, 2008
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.

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! December 11, 2007

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 October 17, 2007
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 August 12, 2007
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.
