Going My Way  (DVD English)

The film follows Father Charles Chuck OMalley (Bing Crosby), an incoming priest whose unconventional style transforms the parish life of St. Dominics church in New York City.

We meet OMalley on his first day at the new parish. O'Malley gets into a series of mishaps on his way to the church, and his informal appearance and attitude make a very poor impression with the elder pastor, Father Fitzgibbon (Barry Fitzgerald). The highly-traditional Fitzgibbon is further put off by OMalleys recreational habits particularly his golf-playing and his friendship with the even more casual pastor Timmy ODowd. In a discussion between O'Malley and O'Dowd without Fitzgibbon present, it is revealed that OMalley was sent by the bishop to take charge of the affairs of the parish, but that Fitzgibbon is to remain as pastor. To spare Fitzgibbons feelings, the older pastor is kept unaware of this arrangement and believes that OMalley is simply his assistant.
