That's what movies should be doing. It's mostly crap now

I'm so happy to be able to watch this with the rest of my favorite Christmas movies. First saw this when it came out with my sisters. We had all been raised on Crosby, Sinatra, and Martin's music. Mom and Dad were big fans of the crooners and their music played constantly in our house. Watching this movie brings all those memories, Thank you so much

The greatest crooner of all times, Bing Crosby, God bless him

A new Christmas song I have never heard!! That's amazing!! Being a huge fan of all musicals...I was shocked I never heard of this movie before! Truly wonderful!! Doesn't Bing Crosby make a totally believable priest? He always did! And how handsome was Robert Wagner...Wow! Debbie Reynolds was always the biggest star!! 🥰

I am 73 and must have seen this movie when it came out. Astonishing that I remembered the words to Say one For Me. My parents were great fans of Bing and I was born in Spokane a connection they always reminded me of. I was disappointed that he was actually born in.Tacoma.

Debbie Reynolds and Wagner dated and almost got married. I've always admired Debbie Reynolds. There'll never be another. I miss her and Carrie too.

Oh my goodness! I saw "Say One For Me" in the summer of 1959 in Sanford, Florida, where I was visiting my aunt and uncle. I've remembered the movie and theme song all these years, although I've forgotten the plot. Can't wait to see it again. Thank you!

I also saw "Say One For Me" when it came out in the summer of 1959. I was eleven years old and didn't quite understand everything that was going on. Liz/Eddie/Debbie had erupted about 10 months earlier and Debbie Reynolds had a lot of public goodwill. What I understand now, seeing it for the first time after all these years, is that Robert Wagner gives me the creeps.

Great story of redemption and hope. I really liked it. The performance of Ray Walston was touching.

🐬Smooth & Cool!🐬

Steve thank u for posting this.

Fnatastic movie! Fantastic casting! Loved every second!

Never seen this romance musical. Reynolds was a favorite star by then, her rendition of her "signature" hit, that would finish out as #1 Tammy in 1957. One of her nicknames, was Aba Dabba from her first big 1951 movie, Singing in the Rain. I don't know if I've ever seen Robert Wagner sing..?

I’ve watched a lot of old movies and I’ve seen a lot of old musicals, but I’ve never seen Robert Wagner singing dance, except on an odd episode of heart to heart, but I don’t think he sang on that.

The debut of STELLA STEVENS!

I thought I'd seen all Bings Films, never heard of this one I'm Thrilled I found this one

Loved it!

YOUNG Wagner! Barely recognize him; except for the voice that you KNOW and so look again!

i love this kind of movie and music and dance

What a beaut movie. Bing was always my favourite. His voice was smooth as silk.

As much as I like Robert Wagner he just seem miscast here. Next to 2 great talents I would have like to see a star with singing and dancing that equaled Debbie and Bing. He just kind of stood around. But he's very Charismatic! All that being said good movie. 😮

That was called a transom window. Also helpful for cooling an apt because it allows for hot air to escape. Not very good for security though, so it doesn't make a good front door for an apartment. Good idea for rooms within an apartment or a house, good idea for air flow in general. Don't know why they are never used now. Maybe no one wants to depend on natural ventilation, just air conditioning.

The end came and went so fast. Uggg Other wise, cute movie.

Say One for Me (1959) 5.5 Father Conroy (Crosby) has a parish which serves the acting and performance community. When one of his parishoners gets too sick to work, his daughter Holly (Reynolds) finds a job working for a dance club of questionable character, which is run by Tony Vincent (Wagner). Vincent never made the big time, and Father Conroy tries to look after Holly. There are many musical numbers, and the conclusion is a televised benefit show hosted by Father Conroy, and Tony must choose between Holly and national fame.

1:24:18 interesting little interchange about alcoholism, seeing as being Crosby was one. I do know somewhere along the way he did stop drinking with his second family, but his older children took the brunt of his alcoholism, both emotionally and physically.

Rate 86%/5.4

Rate 87% Comedy Musical

A couple of times at the church Bing says "the end of the Holy Gospel" after reading scripture. That isn't the Gospel - the Gospel is this: the “good news” that Jesus Christ died to pay the penalty for our sins so that we might become the children of God through faith alone in Christ alone. We have forgiveness in Him...❤🙂

In current Catholic liturgy , after the Gospel reading the priest says, "The Gospel of the Lord" and the congregation replies, "Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ" When this film was made, Mass was in Latin, & the priest said, "Laus tibi, Christe" which means "Praise be to Thee, O Christ" I guess the screenplay writers secularized the words possibly to make it relatable to different denominations
