      One of director John Ford's personal favorite of his films.
    • Goofs
      When the Priest is on line getting ready to board a ship, he is approached by a young boy that was baptized by him. The boy informs him that his mother is dying and wishes for the priest to come home with him to give her the last rites. What is not explained is how did the boy just happen to know that the priest was in town and getting ready to board a ship at that precise moment and in the third class section.
    • Quotes

      A Police Informer: [to the priest] He's dying, Father. He wants you to come. You cannot refuse a man who is dying, Father. He has so much to confess.

    Gripping adaptation of Graham Greene's Treatise
    John Ford's adaptation of Graham Greene's "The Power And The Glory" captures perfectly the potential for the seven deadly sins in all of us. It is an incredibly and understatedly raw and emotional and downright earthy movie. The entire supporting cast is brilliant, and Fonda, of course, is excellent, if not precisely ideal. This is in all senses, a quintessential study in soul-searching.
