Leave your thoughts about Four Men and a Prayer.
| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostOdd drama, with some powerful anti-war scenes attacking the arms trade. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeA wildly enjoyable minor Ford work, loaded with all manner of Ford touches, and one truly disturbing sequence that seems to come out of nowhere. |
| Filmcritic.comPaul BrennerIn Four Men and a Prayer, director John Ford doesn't have one |
| User ReviewCali Fornia CNice to see the old faces out and about. Half adventure and half mystery it's entirely unpredictable. Great performances by all (especially Greene, Niven and Sanders who is actually a hero). |
| User ReviewPrivate UDavid Niven pretty much owns this movie. It has a great cast, but Niven is the most impressive, with his "Donald Mouse" routine. The mystery is a little murky (mysteries about arms dealers usually are) but it's still a funny film. |
| User ReviewDaniel KEh, I just never cared enough about what's going on to get into this. Not very funny either. |
