Come the Morning

Susan Howard best known for playing Donna Culver Krebs on Dallas made her last film to date starring in this Christian film about a woman who takes her kids from El Paso to Los Angeles in search of her husband. For which I think she should have had her head examined.

Still her three kids Travis Knight, Heather Ramsey and Kenny Gravino all come on the Greyhound Bus to LA and get an address that's most ritzy. But as it turns out the husband played by David Morin only worked there as a day laborer and he's in the wind.

Try as I might I can't wrap myself around the concept that any mother would put herself through this with her kids. We are told that dad sends home money occasionally. Surely she has a job of some kind in El Paso.

Still a divine providence watches over them and they fall into the hands of a church that does missionary work among the homeless. And young Knight who is beginning to have some serious doubts about Christianity gets himself saved in the process.

A film like Come The Morning you have to take for what it is, a promotion of evangelical Christianity. If you're a non-believer you'll think this is not worth your time and believers will love this film. It's far from the worst of this type I've seen.
