Film about a European Missionary Priest in South America STILL UNSOLVED


The film was probably made in the 50s or 60s maybe early 70s as I watched it when I was young when I saw it c70s At the beginning of the film this priest arrives the village on a donkey. The priest seeing the poverty of his congregation decides to sell the diamond and golden encrusted statue of Mary in the church to give the proceeds to his poor congregation without informing them where the money was coming from He later confesses and offers to leave but as he meant well they persuaded him to stay

Yeah I did the earlier post, I have read the little synopsis that I can find on this. Can you please tell me why you think this is the film I am talking about

reply

I don't, it's just a guess. People here are sometimes somewhat to way-off in their descriptions.

I want to say THE FUGITIVE (1947) with Henry Fonda, but haven't seen it in so long I'm making a wild guess.

Been a way so just seeing this now. I don't think this is it. Thanks for your input
