Product Description
Description
Richard Todd delivers a thoroughly winning performance as Peter Marshall, the Scottish-born minister who became Chaplain of the U.S. Senate. While still a boy, Peter wants only to go to sea. But as a young man he experiences a profound awakening which leaves him with the unwavering conviction that he has been called upon to do the Lord's work. He completes his religious training in the United States, where he presides over several congregations. A compelling speaker who believes religion should be fun, Marshall inspires young people to renew their interest in the church, and his ministries prosper. Eventually, he becomes pastor of the prestigious Church of the Presidents, in Washington D.C. and is asked to serve as spiritual guide for the Senate. Co-starring Jean Peters as Marshall's devoted wife, Catherine, "A Man Called Peter" is the deeply moving tale of "a man and his close friendship with God"

A Man Called Peter,
By
This review is from: Man Called Peter, a (VHS Tape)
An outstanding movie with uplifting characteristics. This is the story of a truly remarkable man and those who doubt the sencerity of this man ( and the movie ) do not know people who were exposed to Peter Marshall. This is a true classic with elevating overtones that should raise anyone's spirits.

A Man of Character Committment and Conviction,
By Christine Ellis (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Man Called Peter, a (VHS Tape)
In our days of pluralism and completely relative morality embracing spirituality in any form, this movie sets a strong tone of inspiring faith and conficenc in God through Jesus Christ. Peter Marshall was an unusual minister of the gospel who made mistakes but loved his family and the Lord with no reservations. The movie is full of the traditional church persons who are more interested in maintaining their traditons than in establishing the traditions of the gospel. Peter's response to them is both loving and confrontive. I recommend this movie very much.

Preaching to the Unconverted?,
By
This review is from: Man Called Peter, a (VHS Tape)
In this artifcat from a simpler and more dignifed time, Dr. Peter Marshall as portrayed by Richard Todd, is "a bit of a stiff," a WWII Muscular Christian [Jesus was a bronzed man with big carpenter's knuckles, Marshall asserts] whose career from humble Scots immigrant to Chaplain of the Senate is a somewhat bronze-shoed pageant. He could have been Ozzie and Harriet's pastor or stayed in the British Isles and been "All Creatures Great and Small"'s pastor. He falls in love with his future wife when she harrangues a youth rally to the effect that we have come a long way from The Virgin Mary to smoking and cussing as equals of the men; no one is going to write any poems about such as us. Stirring visuals,economical sermonettes, excellent production values. A guilty pleasure for those who take religion seriously.
