One of the biggest Oscar snubs in history. Double Indemnity should have won in 1944
I'll have to check it out
How you doin' man? You still making movies?
@@BryanLomax Doing great, cheers man! Hope all's good with you. Been making a lot of shorts, and there's a new feature in pre-production at the mo so fingers crossed it gets going soon.
@@SeanBreathnach that's cool man. Are you allowed to spill any details? Genre? Where you hope to be filming?
@@BryanLomax It's a horror - a haunted house style tale! Filming location is looking like Ireland or the UK but not sure yet. Can't wait to get onto another feature to be honest, never thought it'd be this long! How are things with you?
I have seen this one once, I liked it but it was kind of a one and done for me. ☆☆☆ for my rating
I really like "Going My Way" but I actually prefer its sequel "The Bells of St. Mary's," which is of equal quality (definitely an 'A' picture of the era and not a cheap cash-in sequel). The plot is very similar to the first film with Ingrid Bergman playing a nun (basically analogous with the older priest in Going My Way) who is in charge of a run-down Catholic school that is on the verge of shutting down (making the stakes a bit higher)
I'll have to check that one out for sure.
@@BryanLomax I second the praise for The Bells of St. Mary's. I got both of these for my mom for Christmas about five years ago, and we have watched each a couple of times. When I watched this review with her, she said she wants to see both of those again, so we will plan to include them in this year's Christmas viewing. I enjoy both films, but the sequel is all the better for the addition of Ingrid Bergman, as well as Henry Travers (it is also fun to see that in the following year's It's a Wonderful Life, where Henry Travers plays Clarence, the marquee at the town's theater features The Bells of St. Mary's).
@@cinemaniac78 I love It's a Wonderful Life so that's a nice piece of trivia. And thanks for showing your mum my review 😆
@@BryanLomax Oh, yes, I showed her a few others of your videos, as well, and she's really enjoyed them. I think I may have first shown her one when you were talking about The Chosen a while back. And yes, we also love It's a Wonderful Life, and it has become yearly Christmas Eve viewing for us in recent years. I saw it when I was a teenager and thought it was fine, but in returning to it about a decade ago a couple of times it hit a lot harder, and as I said in recent years it has come to mean even more and has become our Christmas Eve movie, and then The Nativity Story (and A Charlie Brown Christmas) on Christmas day.
