Added 3/26/2009
This is a movie I can watch over and over again.I first saw it when I was a little boy. This movie always gives me a wonderful feeling. This is the kind of movie I want to have. Amazone made this possible with a good price. The movie got to me on time and in good gondition.

When Priests Were The Good Guys On Film
Added 2/14/2009
It's always been strange for a movie buff like me to see how things change over the decades. In the 1940s and 1950s, Catholic priests were the good guys and likable actors like Pat O'Brien, Spencer Tracy and even Bing Crosby made them even more attractive. Since the '60s, Hollywood went in the opposite direction and made them villains more than anything else.
Frankly, I never found a nun who looked like Ingrid Bergman or Audrey Hepburn, or a priest who could sing like Bing Crosby, but, what the hell, er heck....better to see a positive cleric image than a negative, I believe.
The first hour of this movie was very good and the film might have wound up a favorite of mine but the second half petered out quickly and never regained steam, except for a nice ending. The films bogs down with a romance that has nothing to do with the story. The music also lost its appeal to me when Crosby's fine voice was finished for the film, replaced by the operatic high notes of Rise Stevens.
Overall, the film has a number of nice, touching moments and Crosby is very likable but the story goes on too long and is not one I would watch a second time.

Wonderful Film
Added 1/31/2009
A great movie. Bing Crosby at his best. To hear "Swingin' On A Star" again alone was worth the price of the DVD.

Refreshing
Added 1/31/2009
A wonderful trip down memory lane when singers could sing and dancers could dance. A refreshing difference compared to the many caustic performers in today's world.

Includes two videos, White Christmas and Going My Way. GMW won best pic and best actor for Crosby, WC has a song for every holiday (Really!) all composed by Berlin. Both are great 40's style comedies that are truly upbeat

Improve your DVD collection...
Added 12/24/2008
This dual disk of Holiday Inn and Going My Way should be part of every movie collection. I'd go a step further -- get ride of at least two movies from your collection that are probably not appropriate for you to be watching (violence, improper relationships, etc) and put this DVD proudly on the shelf in their place.
