(Leo McCarey, US 1945, 126 min.)

Happy Holidays. Re-visiting his role as Father O’Malley from Going My Way, Bing Crosby produces what could be the highlight of his career — the winner of the annual box office, RKO’s biggest hit ever, and 8 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Actor and Actress. O’Malley and Sister Mary Benedict (Ingrid Bergman) disagree on how to run St. Mary’s Elementary School, but through every adversity they work to find common ground, and when tragedy strikes close to the school, it brings them closer than ever.
