I so fondly remember this film from visiting my Irish grandparents in Washington DC…only years later, as for all of us, did I come to embrace the unparalleled talents of Leo McCarey in his directing and producing this wonderful film, along with Going My Way…

I am 71 years old now,,and this movie still touches my heart!! I went to a parochial school. That had nuns!!! They taught me so much, that have made me who I am today ! Especially the Christian foundation of what ,and why and who Jesus was!!.., 1980, I asked Jesus to come to live inside me, and forgive me of my sins...!!! I new the basics, but I never new to confess and declare them til then!!...The wait was worth it...and thankyou, sister's if st.Joseph for preparing me, Amen and Amen!!!

I was living in a Catholic Orphanage 1944 - 1948. I remember at age 4 yrs of age, the Nuns walked us from the Orphanage to the movie theatre to see this movie. Then we had to walk all the way back. They didn't have school buses in my city at that time. Great memory and great movie.

I can’t say anything negative about Ingrid Bergman. She absolutely adorable in every movie she’s done! I love in this movie. She’s so funny and innocent

I love this movie. Been watching it for approximately 65 years.

A friend sent it to me and said it was a"Feel good movie" and he was right. Made me feel so warm inside. Made me believe in goodness. My friend said that he thinks that both Bergman and Crosby were exactly like that in life and I agree, they were so genuine, so real.

this movie is a real gem , even to those who are non religious , it has a great story . i do not believe in god but i do enjoy some of these sorts of movies , i highly recommend (the shack 2017 ) real older movie gems ( the whisperers 1967,)( the caretaker 1963 ) . (turn the key softly 1953 ), all the last 3 movies are real gems , and older people will love these . if you own or work in an old peoples home , set up a home cinema room with a huge screen , trust me you will make them very happy . i wish i had a home cinema to go around old peoples homes and play them nostlaglic movies . they cant see or hear much on a small tv in a day room . I even struggled to see and hear a small tv when i was 30 ish working in old peoples homes , so how are old people meant to really enjoy a movie ? when theres so much going on in a sitting room , they put a tv there just for show , as the old folk cant hear it or see it , if i struggle at 30 ,to see it or hear it , they had no chance , i think there should be movies at least 3 times a week on a loud large screen for old folks and they should be able to vote for what movie they want to watch that eveing .

Movies like this are timeless, as are the teachings.

I've been watching this beautiful classic every Christmas for over 50 years. Touches my heart everytime. ❤️

My mom's TV is logged into my KZread account from when I last visited her in New hampshire. I saw that she had been to this video today and decided to start watching it. I remember that she loved it when I was a kid. I hope it's as good as you remember, mom! Merry Christmas!

She was a very gifted woman and had many heavy burdens to carry in life. a she wrote the most beautiful poetry about the Lord and the miracles in life. Even when the area where she was living was changing, she didn’t want to leave it although she had to she was often invited to preach in the churches that were now of different religion, but that didn’t matter to grandma if she could tell you about the Lord, she could tell you about Jesus that was the only thing that mattered to her.

1 hr 13 . 31 : Glad they got plenty of music in.☺️🎼. Echoing my previous comment , Bing displays his " signature " style at this point : " Don't forget the " dip " , that's where the money is ! He looks relaxed, pleasant, " natural "☺️. Some would say this film's a bit " corny", but really, it's just a nice, " feel good " movie. No blood, foul words, explosions, stress, conflicts , cruelty, shocks... I don't like the modern films : so much nastiness, that they promote as " Living On The Edge"😢. I'd rather have a lovely old film with messages about life, kindness, etc. So grateful to be able to see this one again.☺️ One of the best uses for the modern technologies. 🎼☺️🇬🇧💕🇺🇲🎵🎼🦉🇬🇧

It was during the filming of this picture that the Academy Awards for 1944 were held. That night Leo McCary and Bing Crosby won for "Going My Way" and Ingrid Bergman had won for "Gaslight". The following morning on the set Bergman joked that she was happy to have won the night before because she would have been nervous without one, what with her director and co-star both having one of their own.
