6/10
sequel to Going my Way
21 December 2008
this is the sequel and more famous cousin to Going my Way.Bing Crosby reprises his role of Father O'Malley.Ingrid Bergman co-stars.this movie is much deeper than it's predecessor,and has a much better,stronger story.Crosby and Bergman are both brilliant here.the story has some very touching moments.i welled up a few times.there are strong themes of hope and faith and miracles here,and the human spirit.wheres there are a quite a few lighter,comedic moments in Going my Way,there aren't that many here.it's much more serious in tone.i don't know if Bergman and/or Crosby won academy awards for their portrayals,but they give award worthy performance.the movie does feel a bit long and there are some slow moments,but overall,i liked it.i give The Bells of St. Mary's a 6/10
