Richard Todd as the Rev. Peter Marshall gives a moving and heartwarming performance as a man chosen by God to be more than just a man sailing the seas. He was called by God to be a "fisher of men" one dark and foggy night. Peter travels to America with just the promise from God not knowing that God had already picked out his wife Catherine. The film starts out with a love story of a man and his God but now soon becomes a love story of a man and woman but always with God in the center of the two. Peter is called to pastor a church in Washington D.C that is known as the "Church of the Presidents." A man born in Scotland now pastoring a church where Mr. Lincoln and others attended is overwhelming to Peter but then only a God could cause that. This leads to Peter becoming chaplain of the US senate. Many trials await Peter & Catherine that test their faith. Near the end is the memorable screen as Peter is carried away to the hospital and telling Catherine "see you darling, see you in the morning." A moving experience for anyone that believes in the power of God to transform lives. A must-see film.
