Comedy. Musical Father O'Malley the unconventional priest from 'Going My Way' continues his work for the Catholic Church. This time he is sent to St. Mary's, a run-down parochial school on the verge of condemnation. He and Sister Benedict work together in an attempt to save the school, though their differing methods often lead to good-natured disagreements.

		Variety	"Warmly sentimental, [it] has a simple story leavened with many laughs"
		Bill Weber Slant	"While the backstory of this enormously popular hit isn't served by the barebones package, the charms of its superstar leads and utopian approach to social problem-solving is hard to resist (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
