Bing and Barry
Leo McCarey’s sentimental 1944 film, “Going My Way” is a positive film that dealt with the problems of the inner city back when the term hadn’t been coined. St. Dominic’s Church is an oasis in the middle of the area that has seen better days. We realize how deeply in trouble the parish is from the start as Mr. Haines is trying to give Father Fitzgibbon an idea of how much he owes the bank and the fact the church will disappear soon.

When Father Chuck O’Malley arrives at St. Dominic to try to save it from its uncertain future, Father Fitzgibbon doesn’t have a clue the younger man is going to be over him in all matters of importance. Yet, Father O’Malley never steps over the older priest’s shoes to make his rank felt.

This film was shot after the more successful, and better made “The Bells of St. Mary’s”, but it was released earlier than the other film, probably to capitalize on Bing Crosby’s popularity. The film, in fact, is a showcase for Mr. Crosby, who was a likable actor and singer. He has good opportunities in the movie.

As good as Mr. Crosby was in the film, Barry Fitzgerald steals the movie with his Father Fitzgibbon. Mr. Fitzgerald’s crusty priest was one of the best creations of his long career. Frank McHugh, another excellent character actor of the era is seen as Father O’Dowd. Gene Lockhart also has a small role as the money man, Mr. Haines. Rise Stevens, the soprano is seen and heard in the film singing in her inimitable style.

The film is a classic that should be seen during the holidays, as it brings cheer and hope to everyone lucky enough to catch a screening of it during Christmas.

Easy-going but long
St. Dominic’s Church is in financial trouble under the guidance of Father Fitzgibbon (Barry Fitzgerald) and so Father O’Malley (Bing Crosby) is sent by the bishop to turn things around. The two holy men work side by side but have a different approach to life – O’Malley’s youthful outlook is not shared by Fitzgibbon. Fitzgibbon goes to the bishop to complain but ends up finding out the truth as to why O’Malley has been appointed. We follow the story of how fortune changes for St. Dominic’s.

Bing is good as he breezes through the film in his likable manner but the star of the film is Barry Fitzgerald. He is excellent as a restrained grumpy old man who doesn’t care for “Three Blind Mice”. I think that the songs could have been better and the film definitely did not need an opera singer Genevieve (Rise Stevens) to sing a couple of songs in that fake way that only opera singers can by deliberately pronouncing every word so that it sounds wrong. For example “amen” becomes “aauurrmmiiin” – that kind of nonsense. The film goes on for too long, so, of course, it won an Oscar but there are better films that were made in 1944…….I could name about 30. However, it is a feelgood story that hooks you in from the beginning.
