Summary: When your goals are larger than yourself!
Review: This is a beautifully made movie about internal motivations and a sense of giving. When we rise to a level greater than our immediate needs, we give to others regardless of common paths, beliefs, race, or any worldly ambition. As we walk through life, if we are lucky, we will find a way to leave our mark for posterity. Whether anyone will know us personally, is irrelevant. We will simply have made the world a bit better by us being in the right place at the right time, and seizing the chance to do our part.This movie speaks to those concepts and images. It is funny at times, and always thought-provoking. It is a simple movie about a simpler time. The performances gain their strength in their honesty and purity.

Summary: A heartwarming classic
Review: This movie is a true classic that has endured the test of time. Great performances by all, Sydney Poiter is amazing in his role as a construction/handyman who meets up with a group of German who want him to "build them a shapel (chapel)". An inspiring testimony to the power of prayer (and a little hard work). A true must see for all ages!

Summary: True Art of film making
Review: When I was in high school an english teacher made us watch this movie. Instead of writing a story (like I did through most movies) I was glued to the TV and could not wait to finish it the next day. It was that powerful of a movie, and that is where I learn who Sidney Poitier was. This is the movie that indroduced me to what film making was, and how I learn to appreciate film making as an art! This movie lacks everything that Hollywood thinks will make a great movie--no swearing, violence, or nudity! It was just a well laid story, with outstanding actors, superb cinematography, and the best directed in a movie to date! Basically what I am saying is that this is the best movie out there and it is my fovorite. Should you see this? Yes, and watch with your family (parents, children, brothers and sister, spouse, or even a close friend). This is the best movie yet made.
