Going My Way

Going My Way

50Watch it awake.

A house can watch it, and the parish is saved by charm rather than by a hard choice.

Pass it on

The review

Bing Crosby plays a breezy priest sent to a parish whose old priest will not yield. The church is in debt. He saves it with a song and a boys' choir. Best picture, the largest ordinary gross of its year, and gentle to the point of candy. The priesthood is the work. I was tired enough to enjoy the ease, which is how a film like this gets you.

A house can watch it on a night when nobody wants trouble. I would not tell a kid that a parish debt is a tune. The old man's refusal is the only scrape, and charm irons it flat. Come for the choir if you're worn out. Nobody here loses the roof because conscience got in the way.

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?

Consider this

The Apartment

63 instead of 50

The Apartment is still a comedy film, and it scores 63 instead of 50. What you gain is courage: He gives back the job and the advantage.

The eight

  1. 6
    Industry

    The priesthood is the work, the debt is real, and a song is what clears it.

  2. 5
    Household

    Two priests and a boys' choir, and the boys are how the charm pays the bill.

  3. 4
    Piety

    The collars are the setting, and the knots still come undone by charm.

  4. 4
    Courage

    The old priest will not yield, then the risk vanishes once the song lands.

  5. 6
    Republic

    A parish in debt is a neighbor's place, and someone has to keep the doors open.

  6. 3
    Temperance

    Gentle to the point of candy, and the next pleasant fix is always on the way.

  7. 5
    Truth

    The debt is honest; the promise that a tune saves a church is the soft part.

  8. 7
    Stewardship

    The song works, and the church is still there for the people of that parish.

10 Things I Hate About You

10 Things I Hate About You

50Watch it awake.

The bet is the sin. The poem is the repair. Older teens, with the bet named.

Pass it on

The review

Someone is paid to take the difficult sister out so the younger one can be dated. That is a use of a person, and the film knows it before it decides to be charming about it. Kat is not a problem to be solved. She is a girl with a standard, some of it pride and some of it sense. The poem works because it is specific and public and ashamed. A romance that ends on a confession is better than one that ends on a wink.

The Shakespeare underneath is a harsh play. This softens it into a high school, which is a mercy, and keeps the money, which is the part you have to say out loud so a teenager does not learn that being purchased is a meet-cute.

The Princess Bride

64 instead of 50

The Princess Bride is still a comedy film, and it scores 64 instead of 50. What you gain is industry: A quest with chores: the cliffs, the fight, the pit.

The eight

  1. 4
    Industry

    School, a bet, a band.

    Sisters under one roof, mismanaged by the plot and then restored.

    No creed. A conscience in the last scene.

    The poem is said in public.

    A campus that treats a girl as a door prize.
