A Spiritual Garden
"Lilies of the Field" is a masterpiece. Sidney Poitier stars as a returned WWII veteran in a remote part of Arizona. Unexpectedly,a group of nuns give him help-- at a price. They want him to build a chapel. There's much fun arguing between Sidney and the Mother Superior. It's at once entertaining and inspiring."Lilies of the Field" is about racial and religious reconciliation. Catholics, Protestants, blacks, Hispanics and whites join together to build a beautiful chapel,a spiritual oasis in the desert. It's a true classic.
