Rating: 4.0
A glorious film!
This is a wonderfully entertaining film. Sidney Poitier is charming anddelightful as Homer Smith. Homer experiences car trouble on a desert road. He receives assistance from a group of nuns in a nearby retreat.He obliges by doing chores for the nuns. The superior nun persuades himto build them a chapel. Homer is at first reluctant, but soon the projectbecomes as important to him as it is to the nuns. Poitier received a well-deserved Oscar for his role. Lilia Skala was nominated for BestSupporting Actress as the leader of the nuns. A spiritually feel-goodfilm. Excellent. (4 stars out of 5)
