Well, "Bells" was originally supposed to be the first Father O'Malley movie, and "Going My Way" the sequel, just that Paramount reversed the release order in theaters.

(Basically, during the wartime 40's, everyone retreated from headlines by saying that all the problems of the world could be solved if everyone just went to the Church Of Their Own Denomination every week--
The two movies were basically "Touched By An Angel" commercials for how mean-people get their problems solved by going to church again...And see, big-city Catholic churches aren't harsh, conservative and scary; Bing's a priest, and he's fun! He even gets Sister Ingrid to have fun, too! )
