Harriet and I just had the wonderful opportunity to watch a movie together on this snow day. I had first stumbled upon Going My Way, starring Bing Crosby in 1944, about a year or so ago. I was flipping channels late one night and went to the Trinity Channel. The movie had already begun and was well into itself, but I absolutely loved what I saw of the remaining hour and a half or so.
I ordered it on Amazon.com lately and just got around to watching it lately. Bing plays a young priest who is assigned to a struggling church in order to help the elderly minister, unbeknownst to the older priest. The movie is a beautiful testament to Christian humility, and lives are transformed all around Bing's Father O'Malley. This movie is a true inspiration to me, and was a tear jerker several times (in a good way). I would recommend it to audiences of all ages, as it is, naturally in 1944, clean as a whistle and simply beautiful.
