Bing Crosby is the same fellow who sings all those Christmas songs of yore, and you’re sure to fall in love with his voice, if not his St. Louis-hailing priest in this film. Musical, whimsical, and calm in the face of a War-stricken country, Going My Way keeps faith blazing (literally, actually that part is pretty terrible) during a time when the people of many countries needed something solid to stand upon. Though I don’t frequent churches (it’s me, a heathen), I found this one to be uplifting and the characters left their mark long after the screen went dark.
