Product Description
Description
A marvelous spectacle spanning six decades and two continents, The Keys of the Kingdom is the glorious epic that introduced audiences to screen newcomer Gregory Peck.
After losing his parents and his childhood sweetheart to tragedy, Francis Chisholm (Peck) joins the priesthood and devotes himself to a life of service and compassion. But Chisholm’s unorthodox beliefs raise eyebrows among his superiors, especially Bishop Angus Mealy (Vincent Price). And when he is sent to the farthest reaches of China to rebuild an abandoned mission, Chisholm faces his greatest challenge of all: to tame a hostile land, win over a superstitious people and save his parish from an invading army. Nominated* for four Academy Awards®, including Best Actor (Peck), The Keys of the Kingdom is a “towering film stamped with greatness” (The Independent).

The Keys of the Kingdom,
By
This review is from: Keys of the Kingdom (Widescreen) (DVD)
This is one of Gregory Peck's Performance. The Story is Superb.Gregory Peck's star-making turn as Father Francis Chisom in John M. Stahl's The Keys of the Kingdom earned him a Best Actor nod and established his screen persona as a ruggedly decent, dignified underdog. Based on the one time best-selling novel by A. J. Cronin, the film looks back on a life of heroic priestly service unmarked by outward success, worldly recognition or ecclesiastical honor. At the same time, the story celebrates its hero as an idiosyncratic priest whose lifelong best friend (Thomas Mitchell) was a confirmed atheist, and who held odd, even problematic views on religion.

This review is from: Keys of the Kingdom (Widescreen) (DVD)
This movie is enjoyable. A bit slow in certain places but at least it has an admirable storyline with faith and values at it's core.
