Product: Lilies of the Field [VHS] (1963)
Rating: 5.0
SPECTACULAR!!
I just watched this film for the first time and it was amazing. I did not rent it for the back cover paragraph, but for the cover. I loved Sydney Poitier in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and so i decided to get Lillies of the Field. In the back of my head was the biblical allusion but that also paid very little heed in my decision.On a very relaxing Sunday afternoon when I was not much into the mood to concentrate on a movie, this film drew me in. At the begining I was putting, juggling golf balls, and sorting magazines but soon all activities lost all point as the awe inspiring story progressed onward. By the end, I was in tears and felt better about the world. That is the markings of a good film.
