4.0 out of 5 stars A lot of fun!, February 5, 2000

This review is from: Welcome Stranger [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If your a fan of Bing, or just looking for a feel good movie, look no further. This reteaming of the successful pairing of Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald is a keeper.Barry stars as a retiring small town doctor who hires Bing as his replacement without meeting him first. Needless to say, the two get off on the wrong foot,and what ensues is very funny and often touching. Highly reccommended!

3.0 out of 5 stars Bing and Barry Make it Fun-Again, December 4, 1999

This review is from: Welcome Stranger [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a charming team- up of Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald who made "Going My Way" such a hit. Bing is a sub-in doctor taking Barry's place in a small town while Barry goes on vacation. The way these two meet on the train is funny and filled with a sense of what can really happen when people start off on the wrong foot. Bing sings, of course, and eventually gets in a zinger about Bob Hope, which you have to pay attention for or you'll miss it. (This was made around the time they were making their "Road" pictures. Throughout Bing is smooth and cool, and handles it all. Its fun, light and makes you think about how it must have been back then. No great plot to look for here, but find instead those nuggets of screen "Crosbyana" that made him such a much loved star then and still so today.

anyone who gives this movie less than 5 stars has to be checked for a pulse!

This is a well made, warm hearted classic. A "feel good" movie of triumph...once upon a time, when movies made you feel good about life...

WHEN is this going to be put on DVD?!? When you see the VHS price so high, you realize how rare and great this film is!
