    Spreading God's Love

    This is the story of a father whose son chooses faith over the family fortune and business. The Son is a young, bright engineering graduate who now feels called to the ministry. Against his father's wishes he enrolls in the seminary. The movie reveals the passion and the sacrifice of men and women overseas serving as missionaries. It is about commitment, sacrifice, and love---a love that surpasses all human understanding.

    This bit of drama that appears to be produced by a religious organization, shows you can tell a good story and get the point across with a low budget and simple script. The actors do a fine job and I almost didn't recognize Angie Dickinson. This last paragraph is mostly here because IMDb requires ten lines of text. God bless you.

    Inspirational

    An obscure religious movie, funded by the Lutheran Church and not widely distributed back in 1960, has found a wider audience over the past five years via YouTube, and is worth checking out for a number of reasons.

    As it unfolded, the film struck me as an interesting "answer" to Hollywood's famous adaptation of Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead". Instead of the heroic rugged individualist played by Gary Cooper, here we have a son (blandly portrayed by a miscast yet effective John Bryant), groomed to take part in his father's highly successful construction business, likely to inherit the patriarch's mantle. But his life was changed by the war (presumably the Korean War, as the movie's 1955 copyright suggests), and when he graduates from Valparaiso University (a Lutheran school) with an engineering degree his homecoming is upset by Bryant announcing that he's not joining dad's firm but instead enrolling at a seminary.

    His goal is to be a missionary, and in a brief but potent "documentary" segment of the film, we see how Bryant's war experience and dealing with victims of war has developed a strong belief in pacifism. But his main call is to spread the word of Jesus.

    With some preachiness (natch, given the subject matter), we see the result of his big decision, drastically disappointing dad Collins, who had his son's life all planned out, and surprising his girlfriend (Angie Dickinson, presumably very early in her career circa 1955, but a commanding screen presence even then -I oddly imagined she would have been a great choice to star in Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" in the 1960s had Hollywood been ready to film it!).

    The movie follows his going to New Guinea with Angie as his wife after finishing his seminary education, and after his untimely death there how his dad finally sees the light and dedicates his own life to spreading the word of Christ.

    This sort of movie is quite different from most Hollywood product, and apparently was not commercial, only getting released five years later, alternately titled "I'll Give My Life", in 1960 by Howco Intl. Pictures, a company associated with horror movies.

    The Missionary's Father

    Ray Collins is looking forward to his son, John Bryant, graduating from engineering school. He expects to take him into his partnership. Bryant, however, says that he wants to become a minister. Despite his father's arguments, he does so, is sent as a missionary to New Guinea, and marries Angie Dickinson.

    It's hard for me to determine the exact provenance of this movie, with its script by Herbert Moulton, but it's clearly intended as a call to dedication to Christian principles. Although the production looks like little more than a cheap TV drama, it has some impressive talent in its cast and crew. Moulton had whom two writing Oscars for short subjects; Collins, in his final big-screen role (although he would continue for the next five years in William Talman's futile quest to win a case against Raymond Burr's Perry Mason) is fine; Angie Dickinson is appropriately button-down for a minister's wife.

    I have remarked in other reviews that faith is a closed book to me. However, I can recognize a well-told story. For those with a real Christian faith, this is a telling work.

    A proud father and his fallen son

    This is not much of a film, but it is a good story. It is in fact just a story and nothing else, and the film just tells the story. The actors are well known from other films, mainly as supporting roles, like Ray Collins and Angie Dickinson, and they just do their job here. The story is interesting, because it happens to so many families. Ray Collins is a successful engineer with great enterprises, and his life's dream is that his only son will follow him in his footsteps and take over the firm. He doesn't. He chooses to become a minister instead, and what is worse, a missionary in New Guinea, an area well known for almost unavoidable infections of malaria, a damnation for life. The father just has to accept it and can do nothing about it but face the consequences, and here you are: the son is infected with serious fever in New Guinea and can't carry on his work but has to leave his task unfinished. The father's reaction to this is not convincing: He decides to fulfil his son's work but in his own way. Ray Collins was a great actor, he always made an impression although he never showed up except in minor roles, and this was one of his last more prominent roles. It's not a great film, it's like a novelletta, a magazine story, and the tragedy of the lost son could have been developed into an interesting drama. Instead it gets lost in sanctimony.
