feel good story
One of my favorite films of all time--and I'm not even religious. Poitier (plus entire cast) just about perfect here. Ralph Nelson, the director, did a wonderful job.No violance or nudity or profanity in this movie (not that I have anything against violence or profanity or skin in my movies) and yet it still ranks as one of the best movies I've ever seen...Goes to show you: you don't always have to have a bunch of car crashes and people being blown away every five minutes to end up with not only a successful/heartwarming picture on your hands, but one that continues to be popular more than thirty years after it was made.People who like this film might also want to check out Akira Kurosawa's Ikiru.
