Going My Way (1944)

Cinema Classics – Celebrating The Jackson Theatre 80^th Anniversary Week!

Best Picture winner tells the tale of a warmhearted young priest who starts a choir with the tough local kids when he is assigned to a parish overseen by a conservative older priest who has little interest in new ideas. Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald, as the younger and older clerics, respectively, won Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, and Leo McCarey also won for Best Director. The tune “Swingin’ on a Star” was awarded Best Song.
