    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The volcano in this film was built from scratch in farmland outside Fallbrook, California. Each shot required packing with hundreds of pounds of explosives and a carefully-orchestrated "eruption" to be filmed by the cameraman seated on the front skids of a helicopter. One eruption went off a little early and nearly took out the chopper, burning off the cameraman's eyebrows and some of his hair. Because the eruptions looked so good, this ersatz volcano provided stock footage for other films, commercials, etc., for decades.
    • Goofs
      After the island explodes, the sea is perfectly calm. A huge eruption like that would have produced a huge tsunami.
    • Quotes

      Charlie: I was a pretty good thief in my time.

      Father Matthew Doonan: I believe that.

      Charlie: It's too late. Can't you get out now?

      Father Matthew Doonan: It's never too late to change.

      Charlie: My mother, that's what she used to say, "It's never too late."

      Father Matthew Doonan: She was right.

      Charlie: She kept after me - kept tellin' me - there was another thief once dyin' on the cross right next to Christ.

      Father Matthew Doonan: The Good Thief.

      Charlie: That's what she called him.

      Father Matthew Doonan: He didn't chicken out. He just got smart and at the very last moment, he stole Heaven.

      Charlie: That's pretty good stealin', huh?

    A Spiritual Movie
    I have watched The Devil at 4 O'Clock several times on Turner Classic Movies, the BEST channel on television. It is a spiritual movie without being syrupy or preachy. The acting is superb, especially Spencer Tracy and Frank Sinatra. It is not the type of movie that would be produced today... no violence, filthy language, or sex. What is does have is the redemption of the main characters and their rediscovered or newly acquired faith.

    The music complements the movie's theme. I am going to purchase this film because it has a timeless story and is entertaining at the same time. Spencer Tracy was able to convey so much with facial expressions and gestures that seem completely realistic unlike the stilted Method Acting technique ( which seems to me so patently artificial). I rate this film an eight out of ten.
