## Description

Mastered in HD! Nominated for 5 Academy Awards including Best Picture and winner of the Best Actor Oscar (Sidney Poitier, In the Heat of the Night). Homer Smith (Poitier), an itinerant handyman, is driving through the Arizona desert when he meets five impoverished nuns. Stopping to fix their leaky farmhouse roof, Homer discovers that not only will the Mother Superior not pay him for the job, but she also wants him to build their chapel - for free! Hesitant at fist, Homer soon finds himself single-handedly raising the chapel and the financing. But although he will not receive a monetary reward, Homer knows that when his work is done, he'll leave that dusty desert town a much better place than when he found it. Ralph Nelson (Duel at Diablo) wonderfully directed this gem of a motion picture featuring stunning black-and-white cinematography by the great Ernest Haller (Gone with the Wind, Mildred Pierce).

Review: Sydney's best role! - One of the best movies ever made. Great with popcorn and cuddles with your partner.
Review: Movie for the WHOLE Family! - Loved this show and wanted to purchase it for our own home DVD library. Sidney Poitier and Lilia Skala are awesome in this movie!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A feel-good movie with an unforgettable actor
*by T***. on January 12, 2017*

This was the star-making turn of a young Sidney Poitier earning him an Academy Award as best actor. It's an uplifting story of faith and the power of belief not only in God, but in our fellow man. Poitier plays Homer Smith, a handyman living out of his car and traveling the country looking for work. He agrees to help a group of German nuns for a day's wages, but Mother Superior, as played by Lilia Skala, sees him as her deliverer sent to build them a chapel. Soon he is caught up in the nuns' expectations while at the same time, perhaps finding his own sense of purpose in their chapel. The story is simple, and in lesser hands than Poitier's might fail to hold our interest, but his charisma on-screen is undeniable. I watched this movie first in the theater as a child and now as retiree, and it's never failed to move me. If you've tired of all the special effects and car crashes of today's movies, this is a clear throwback to when movies relied on story and actor to enthrall their audiences. A real treat to watch again and again and at such a cheap price well worth owning.
