User Review - 10/10 by Michael 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 Review - 10/10 by Julie 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!
User Review - 10/10 by Jayna HA classic and one of Peck's finest performances. The Keys of the Kingdom is a touching and human portrait of a Catholic priest working as a missionary in China. After watching it, you are inevitably left feeling as though you wished there were more people like Father Chisholm in the world.
User Review - 10/10 by FrTom WThis is an amazing movie of struggle and faith! It's especially good for being made so long ago. I reccomend it to all not just for those who are preparing to be priests!
