Father Charles O'Mailey, a young priest at a financially failing Church in a tough neighborhood, gains support and inspires his superior. - "Going My Way" is a 1944 American musical comedy-drama film directed by Leo McCarey and starring Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald. Based on a story by Leo McCarey, the film is about a young new priest taking over a parish from an established old veteran. Crosby sings five songs in the film, with other songs performed onscreen by Metropolitan Opera's star mezzo-soprano, Risë Stevens (in the role of a famous Metropolitain Opera performer) as well as the Robert Mitchell Boys Choir (playing the role of juvenile delinquents turned into a choir). "Going My Way" was the highest-grossing picture of 1944 and began a 6 year run at the top of the 'Star' popularity charts for Bing Crosby."
