STORY SUMMARY

Discover ten films that bring together Bing Crosby's musical talent, comic timing and warm dramatic performances.

Going My Way introduces Father Chuck O'Malley, a young priest whose unconventional approach helps a struggling parish. Crosby returns to the role in The Bells of St. Mary's, joining Ingrid Bergman in a story of school life, differing opinions and shared purpose.

Holiday Inn and Blue Skies combine Crosby's singing with Fred Astaire's dancing and the songs of Irving Berlin. Birth of the Blues offers another musical setting, blending entertainment with the ambitions and complications of a developing band.

Road to Singapore, Road to Morocco, Road to Utopia and Road to Rio team Crosby with Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour for comic adventures filled with songs, romantic rivalry and unexpected trouble.

Welcome Stranger reunites Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald in a small-town story about a visiting doctor whose personality unsettles the established routine. Together, these films offer a varied selection from Crosby's 1940s screen career.
