| User ReviewMichael KI love how the message in this story is so very relevant even today. I think church congregations need to watch this and learn something from it. Gregory Peck is fantastic as usual. |
| User ReviewJulie CProbably one of the best movies ever made. I would not even say the movie is about religion but rather the ability of one man to change his surroundings by loving everyone for who they are. Highly recomended! Must see for everyone! |

After watching it, you are inevitably left feeling as though you wished there were more people like Father Chisholm in the world. |
