A most appropriate song vocalized by the late Peggy Lee is perfect for this 1970 film which tells the tale of a conflicted priest.
The acting is first rate by leads Robert Forster and others.
As Father Lind, Forster, a good looking man, seemed to have been destined to enter the priesthood. This is all good until he meets the social worker of a youth in his parish, the latter was drawn into a robbery and subsequently shot to death by a police officer.
It's quite obvious what shall ensue, but it is very well done. The film shows the human frailties in all of us, including the older head of the parish who comes home one evening quite inebriated.
This is an interesting story of values and ethics and the relationship of the church and the individual.
