Product: Lilies of the Field [VHS] (1963)
Rating: 5.0
A great classic
I first saw this movie when I was school age. Now I've seen it again in my fifties and understand it's historical significance, I was truly blown away by how well it has held up artistically as a brilliant well paced screenplay (based on novel) with first class acting by all the main characters. Sidney Poitier was truly the "Jackie Robinson" of Hollywood, being the first black man to win a major movie award for his starring role in this film.I collect classic films and this one is definitely one of my favorites.
