A quiet beauty seldom seen in movies today, 15 February 2008
10/10
Author: Jim_Martx from United States

This film was filled with scenes quiet beauty (thoughtfullness, polite, fairness, friendly, calm setting, kind, intelligent and sensitive people) that I found inspiring: 1. Sam's wife left the baby (alone) outside to nap in the sun (this small town would not produce a person she should be afraid of). 2. the look in the eyes of Mrs. Summerfield during the church hymn (as she gazed at Adam). 3. the integrity, objectivity, and intelligence of the court proceedings (especially the judge when he overruled the prosecution during Miss Summerfield's testimony) 4. the objectivity and fairness of Col. Summerfield (regarding his daughter's (proven) guilt) was thoughtful (saved an innocent man's life at the expense of his daughter's reputation).
