In 'Going My Way' (1944) the arrival of easy-going young priest Father Chuck O'Malley (Bing Crosby) at debt-ridden St Dominic's Church does not sit easily with elderly long-termer Father Fitzgibbon (Barry Fitzgerald). However, O'Malley is soon reaching out to the local, disenfranchised youth and swelling the parishioners' ranks through the medium of song. Leo McCarey's feel-good hit won seven Oscars, including Best Picture, Director and Screenplay, and spawned a sequel for Crosby, 'The Bells of St Mary's'. James Stewart stars in 'The Glenn Miller Story' (1953) - the biopic of American bandleader Glenn Miller. From humble beginnings, the young hopeful works his way through school then builds himself a reputation working for bandleader Ben Pollack (playing himself). Miller finds his own 'sound' after a trumpet player splits his lip, forcing him to substitute a clarinet solo on 'Moonlight Serenade'. He goes on to become the leading jazz bandleader of his day, but tragedy looms with the outbreak of World War Two. Many of Miller's erstwhile colleagues, including Louis Armstrong, Gene Krupa and Frances Langford, appear here as themselves.
