Going My Way
A young, charismatic priest with a love for music and life brings fresh energy and inspiration to a traditional New York parish, earning the reluctant respect of its aging priest and transforming the lives of its community.
“When the St. Louis Browns lost Bing, the Cardinal got a good singer!”
Synopsis
Father Chuck O'Malley lived a vibrant life filled with sports, music, and romance before entering the Roman Catholic priesthood. Upon being assigned to a struggling parish in New York, O'Malley's broad experiences enable him to build a rapport with a group of boys in need of guidance, gradually earning the respect of the parish's older, more traditional priest.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 15
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
