I`m an old fart and they use to play this movie to us kids in the gymnasium when I was in the 1st and 2nd grades in the 1960`s and I remember distinctly not once ever thinking it was a black guy around white nuns but thinking how nice he was as a man to do all those things for those nuns. It taught me later on that only adults judge people by race because of fear which is the true opposite of love, not hate, and that the true richness in life is gained by what we do for others.

Only movie ending that tears me up. I’m not sure why. Just strikes a cord. The chapel finally built and it’s time to move on to wherever God needs him. Mother Superior too proud to admit it but she’s heartbroken he’s leaving and he doesn’t want credit. Sneaks out after singing the hymn and drives off into the night while the bell rings then the movies closes with the words “amen”. Perfect movie.

Seen the movie many times and tried to figure it out by looking at the Catalina mountains in the background. It was a very low budget movie and was overshadowed by the pilot of the Fugitive being shot at the same time. Just met a man who worked for the Santa Rita hotel in downtown Tucson where the cast and crew stayed.he knew the location and I've been there even though the chapel was torn down after filming. It is less than a mile from my house near the intersection of cloud and sabino. Walked by it many a time with my dog and never knew it was so close. What a treasure of a movie.

Wonderful song written by an amazing composer, Jester Hairston. Those of us old enough to remember the TV show AMEN with Sherman Hemsley may remember Jester Hairston as the Rolly. He also wrote "Mary's Boy Child".

he didn't write it...he arranged it. I knew Jester in 1972 and had a wonderful summer learning his world. Great great man who saw things in hollywood that would make us shudder today.

I saw this wonderful movie as a pre -teen when it first came out in 1963, and I just loved it, as I did all his films ! I'm FINALLY getting a copy of it on DVD - can't WAIT to enjoy this beautiful, gem of a movie again, and again - AMEN ! :) And RIP, Sidney. Gone, but never forgotten, by this old movie fan of yours. :)
