Going My Way [DVD]

Gift for my Mom and she loves it.

My dad will love it part of his bday gift

The whole story as well as the sincere and humorous acting. Saw the film as a child with my mum and dad who have since passed it brought back loving meories of a time gone by.

Great feel good film.

Good quality DVD

Great memories on the DVD - well worth a look for those who enjoyed the era. Great music was around at the time and it has been very enduring. People who went through the period when they were young enjoy looking back on the memories and this DVD is one such product that lends itself to this. The life of Glenn Miller is a mixture of tragedy and success - the kind of story people enjoy reliving over again. Bing Crosby is still a household name in many instances, as are many other musicians who found fame at this time.

Very pleased with purchase. Just what I was looking for. Great quality and sound.Everyone was pleased with their giftArrived in good time well packaged and great conditionWould definitely recommend buying this product and seller

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 much 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.
