Plot:
Aimless ex-soldier Homer Smith (Sidney Poitier) is on his way to California when his car overheats in the desert. He stops to get some water at an isolated farm and soon finds himself building a chape...( read more

Quite the feel good film from the 60s. There are the odd throwbacks to the time (mainly the subtle racist reference) but overall the film's a winner.
Poitier definitely deserved his Oscar, if only for the way he delivered his breakfast order to Juan.
I heard once that this movie was completed in about 8 days. Simplicity at its best! A truly "feel good" movie that lightens the heart and makes everything seem right with the world.
Really good movie with the always great Sidney Poitier! A story of dreams, prayers, love and faith-very cool!
This movie is so good the begining to the end. Sidney dealing with the nuns and how he just gets swept up in building the Chapel for the Sisters is amazing. His singing and then of course the nuns. I can watch it anytime and love it.
This movie is so much fun:
Watch and see! It is about a dude who is changed for the better by a group of nuns!
I don't know how many times I remember saying this to Crystal!
"Please send the valet up to my room."
(awesome fun!)
I loved this movie from the first time I saw it, and would watch it for nothing else but one song. but, the humor is wonderful, with a beautiful storyline. Poitier is fabulous, as he ALWAYS is! "A....men, A....men, A....men, A....men, A....men! Sing it over... A...men"
My favorite scene involves eggs. You know what I mean if you've seen it. I'm not even Christian and I adore this movie.
Sidney Poitier is so handsome! I love how the sisters call him Schmidt instead of Smith. My favorite scene is when he teaches them the song "Amen". Too cute!
AMEN, THIS MOVIE HAS STAYED WITH ME ALL MY LIFE, SINCE I FIRST SAW IT. IT USED TO BE A STAPLE AROUND CHRISTMAS TIME BEFORE ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE.
Homer Smith is a ex-soldier obstinate and been obstinated while moving to the west it stops in a farm in the desert. They will develop a pleasant friendship, helping two unhappy nuns and making her divine mission until the moving end. The comedy and the laughter are continuous and chatterings are based on various personalities and differences in the protagonists, it is Protestant, the nuns are catholics. The history is reported with the religious sensitivity and intelligence and feast and the exits of ethics with the great direction of the equitability and ductility. He was the second Afro-American to gain a reward of academy, before Hattie gained and late famous actors of McDaniel such as Cuba Gooding, Denzel Washington, and the bay of Market carries it out. The cinematographic film is led with the enormous order by director Ralph Nelson.
This was a beautiful movie. Sidney empowered and inspired me to always remmember the strength and skill of a black man and his discipline, values that you dont see today potrayed by the media especially when it comes to black men in America. As a people we have also lost the pride in our skill of work and ethics something that was a cornerstone of our very existence in times of slavery.
