‘Going My Way’
The innumerable problems of a failing New York city parish--run by a crusty, lovable, failing old priest (Barry Fitzgerald)--are quietly solved by the affable, unflappable young Father O’Malley (Bing Crosby, pictured), who tickles the keys and croons a tune on the side. A great comedy: unhurried, warm, quietly spontaneous, marvelously acted, full of what Truffaut calls “privileged moments.” Directed by Leo McCarey (AMC early Wednesday at 4:45 a.m.).
