About this product

Product Information

Sidney Poitier--who would later star in such unforgettable films as TO SIR, WITH LOVE; GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER and IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT--won an Academy Award for best actor for his standout performance in this modest, beautiful 1963 film. LILIES OF THE FIELD is directed tenderly and with restraint by Ralph Nelson from a light-handed yet deeply effective screenplay by James Poe, based on a novel by William E. Barrett. Poitier plays the role of Homer Smith, a journeyman laborer, who is roaming the countryside, drifting and working. One day he stops at a farm and meets up with five nuns. Lilia Skala is formidable and endearing as Mother Maria, the highest-ranking sister, who is convinced that God has answered her prayers and sent Homer to fix the roof. Staying and working in the peaceful calm of the Arizona desert, Homer learns more from the nuns than he ever could have anticipated.

    Easily one of the best movies ever made

    Easily one of the best movies ever made. Writing, acting and directing are all outstanding. Story line is thoughtful, provocative and plausible. Plenty of humor and the film's pacing is excellent. The film's characters are shown with all their flaws and their positive aspects. Some of what is best about the human spirit is beautifully displayed.

    Five German Nuns hornswoggled a Baptist who is just passing through into building them a chapel.

    Sydney Poitier and the entire cast are great. Love the theme song. My favorite scene is when Homer uses the bible to communicate with the German speaking Reverend Mother and she tells him to read the verse about the Lillies of the Field. One of my favorites from childhood this film premiered the year I was born.

    Lilies of the Field. Priceless Jewel of a film

    This is truly one of the timeless classics that is deeply spiritual. We have the nuns, who are devoted to God and then Homer Smith enters their lives, someone who just passes through. By the time the story is over, Homer has built the nuns a chapel that they have prayed for and Small Miracles keep happening. People of the Town chip in their time, their money and faith to helping getting the chapel built. By the time the film is over, we come to see that Homer is the true teacher of God, giving and love. Leaves 1 in tears at the beauty of this film. Sidney Poitier is magical

    Amen to Lilies of the Field

    Classic film that should be in every movie lover's collection. Sidney Poitier, the key star of this film, was a relatively new and upcoming star back in the 1960s. This film really gave him good visibility and showcased his acting talent. He is absolutely charming as an itinerant handyman who stops by to help a colony of indigent German nuns who migrated to the midwest to develop land donated to the order. He bridges the gap between his Baptist upbringing and the nuns Catholicism by teaching the nuns to speak English and engages them in a memorable song called Amen. He ends up being snokkered into a building a "shapel" (meaning chapel) as the stern Mother Superior calls it. He is gratified by the whole experience of self-giving which inspires others to help build the shapel. Amen.
