If you want to see a moving film about a good, but flawed man, then watch this. The added bonus is that it's the only film I know of that isn't afraid to feature sermons - sounds dull, doesn't it, but they're absolutely riveting and are taken word for word from Peter Marshall's sermons, spoken and acted powerfully by Richard Todd. He plays Peter Marshall, the Scottish minister, to a tee, a strong and solid character, who must have been, to put it mildly, a challenging man to live with. This film would never be made today - too wordy and too slow - but that is very much part of its charm. All the words count and nothing is wasted. And it's worth watching just for the sermons - when can you say that about a film?! It's charmingly dated and definitely one to watch whenever it appears on the television, which is all too rare!
