Product Description
Amazon.com Essential Video
Sidney Poitier won an Oscar for this endearing movie about a handyman who thinks he's just passing through a little town in New Mexico, and ends up staying awhile to build a chapel for a cluster of German-speaking nuns. The renowned actor is highly entertaining in his combative exchanges with Lilia Skala, playing a Mother Superior who survived Hitler and makes no bones about bullying the goodhearted, itinerant worker into doing more and more for her. The film has an ambling, easygoing style with several memorable moments, not least of all is Poitier leading his holy hostesses through verses of the gospel song "Amen." Lilies is directed by the late Ralph Nelson, a pioneering director of live television who also made a number of popular feature films with notable performances (Jackie Gleason in Requiem for a Heavyweight, Cary Grant in Father Goose, Cliff Robertson in Charly) in the 1960s and 1970s. --Tom Keogh

dvd évaluation,
This review is from: Lilies of the Field (Widescreen) (DVD)
Lili of the field était défectueux. Pour retourner le dvd j'ai suivit vos instruction, mais les 2 tentatves ont échouées et j'ai fini par payer pour le retour,j'imagine que cela arrive a l'occation et je ne le regrète pas. Le service en français pour le retour très mauvais, j'ai préféré celui en englais même si j'ai beaucoup de difficulté avec cette langue. Mais pour le service la livraison tout est parfait. Merci Claude Husereau

Poitier Great in Small Movie,

This review is from: Lilies of the Field (Widescreen) (DVD)
Mostly its just Poitier showing his acting chops. He is awesome. One of his finest roles. Wise & funny. A simple man thrust into an absurd situation rises to the occasion. Poitier was all about dignity and responsibility.

Simply Delightful!,

This review is from: Lilies of the Field (VHS Tape)
A black man (Sidney) is passing through town minding his own business...but some German Sisters catch him in their grips like powerful sticky hooks, and will not let him go until God's plan is fulfilled.The German Sisters feel that (Sidney) is a God-send. This is the man who will build their chapel, their black angel, God's carpenter. ALLELUIA!!!!!!!!!! (Sidney) tries to leave many times, but God's plan is so apparent that something always stands in his way...not only that, but the sisters make him feel guilty about leaving. He was sent to them from GOD. The relationship that develops between he and the sisters is beautiful and humorous at times. When he sings 'AMEN' one cannot help but Know he was meant to be there. This is a movie about faith and love. How the most unconventional relationships can be the most fulfilling, brilliant, Godly, unforgotten. A simple man passing through town learns that living for himself is not enough. He is in town long enough to build a chapel, build relationships, find a purpose. When the chapel is built, he leaves once again to find whatever it was he was searching for...
