No Malice, No Prejudice, No Loss...

Few are the films, past and especially present, that contain only pleasure and joy, or at least the seeds of them - even fairy tales have their villains. Heartwarming - absolutely, who wouldn't want to imagine themselves as Homer Smith with the generosity he affords the nuns, not just in building them their chapel but teaching them English and sharing a song or two.

Poitier is great

Sidney Poitier won the best actor Oscar for this film and he deserved it playing a traveling handyman who is drafted by a flock of German nuns to build a church out in the deserted Southwest. He is a cynical man with a great singing voice and it is put is put to good use several times. This is a change of pace for me as I usually watch violent fare of the Tarantino style. We all need a pleasant change of pace once and a while.
