St. Benny the Dip (1951): Crooner Dick Haymes stars as Benny, a small-time crook forced to duck into a tenement mission and assume priestly garb to evade the law, along with his two pals, Mathew (Roland Young) and Monk (Lionel Stander). The boys ladle out soup to the homeless, and gradually learn some valuable lessons. Nina Foch is the love interest, who first spars with, and then inspires Benny towards the straight path; Oscar Karlweiss is her angry father. Former child actor Freddie Bartholomew stars as a real priest, who’s pretty suspicious of these crazy fellas. The boys' myriad adventures helping (and being helped by) others finally turns them around, but not before plenty of havoc, hilarity and suspense ensues.
