Going My Way

Father Chuck O'Malley (played by Bing Crosby), has just been assigned to take over at St. Dominic's Parish. The "old-school" Father Fitzgibbon (Barry Fitzgerald) has been in charge at St. Dominic's for the past forty-five years, and O'Malley does not want to hurt the old man's pride or feelings by taking that away from him.

O'Malley finds ways to help the struggling church by working on their financial shortcomings and reforming a rag-tag gang of boys into a choir. It becomes a constructive experience for the boys who were well known for general mischief and even stealing turkeys.

Meanwhile, Father Fitzgibbon still thinks that he is head of the church.  However, when he finds out that the Bishop has sent O'Malley to replace him, the news breaks his heart and he decides to run away.  After a friendly policeman brings the elderly priest home in the middle of a rain storm, Father O'Malley is able to persuade him that he is still vital to the Parish and they team up to turn things around.

Going My Way has a heart warming ending that will cause audiences to laugh and cry.  A must see film.
