1. One of the greatest movies ever produced, ever, mesmerizing, perfectly acted directed and written. Perfectly cast. If you are a fledgling reviewer and want to see perfection so you can judge all future movies against something, start here.
2.There is irony in the fact that the movie is about faith when in fact the hidden text here is the faith of Hollywood in itself. The year was 1960. According to many, the Golden Age of Hollywood had ended some 10 years earlier, and the 50s brought some of the strangest product ever to issue from the large studios and even the new indies. The late 50s catered mainly to teenagers and produced little that was memorable. Yet this masterpiece was done in 1960, just before Tinsel Town went into a bikini-world, Doris Day and Jerry Lewis and Elvis featured, spy and comedy fest that was so dreadful it would take another two decades before it could once again start entertaining people.
3. This film is a testament to Old Hollywood's faith in its ability to once again produce a masterpiece of the kind that made film and film stars icons. Incredible.
