A heartwarming movie without being over-sappy., 11 November 2003
8/10
Author: Andrew Nixon (movies@andrewnixon.com) from Santa Barbara, CA

A very enjoyable film starring Bing Crosby as a progressive Irish Catholic priest who comes to St. Dominick's, a church that is struggling. Initially, he's not very welcome by most, including old Father Fitzgibbon...but with his charm and the song in his heart, he manages to slowly grow on the folks as he finds subtle ways to solve everyone's problems. This is a heartwarming movie without being over-sappy.
