Going My Way: An Enduring True Fairy Tale

Every Christmas, I try to write about Christmas movies, especially about old Hollywood, because the best directors at the time considered it worthwhile to make movies that would chastise and cheer up the nation, indeed remind people of the spirit of Christmas and thus try to fit Christianity into the new entertainment that dominated the American imagination. This year, I’d like to introduce you to Going My Way, which stars Bing Crosby as a Catholic priest looking to save a New York parish, St. Dominic’s.
