Say One For Me is a 1959 American comedy musical film directed by Frank Tashlin and starring Bing Crosby, Debbie Reynolds and Robert Wagner.
Father Conroy befriends the former songwriter Phil Stanley, whose alcoholism and hard times have left him playing piano in Tony's act.
The event formed part of fund raising activities for Buffalo Boy's Town run by Father Kelliher.
In addition on June 20, the Fox Theater in El Centro, Southern California, showed the film and personal appearances were made by Bing Crosby, Robert Wagner, Natalie Wood, and Ricardo Montalbán.
This was part of a benefit for Our Lady of Guadalupe Church and parish in El Centro, organized by Father Victor Salandini, and $7000 was raised.
It’s a “Going My Way” sort of affair with Bing Crosby again as a priest with his target shifted from juvenile roughnecks to show business delinquents.
He plays the role tight, not at all like the free-wheeling, leisurely-paced Crosby of yore, but the voice is still there..."[5] Bosley Crowther of The New York Times had some kind words.
"...It is a pleasant show-world entertainment, this obvious “Say One for Me,” full of pretty girls with shapely legs, a few song numbers (two sung by Bing) and religious images.
A handsome production from start to finish, it misses only in the departments of story, direction and acting, three important categories, nonetheless.
