It's a shame this noirish drama isn't better known, because it's a powerful statement on faith, redemption and the cynical reality that stands between the two. Don Murray is compelling as the priest, and Keir Dullea shines in his film debut. 8/10 stars from me.
shareIt was much better than I expected. The acting was believable and compelling. To learn it was based on a real person made it that much more interesting. I wonder if that particular story was real or written for the movie. Does anyone know?
shareNO it written for the movie

They said he had some mouthI wouldn't be surprised. Priests are people too; there are all kinds. I've never known one with a mouth but I don't suppose they'd talk the same way in the presence of girls and young women.
