Songs of Fanny Crosby

Frances Jane Crosby (1820-1915) was one of the most influential American hymn writers. This 1947 production, which starred the great gospel soloist George Beverly Shea (1909-2013), used a slight fictional framework as a setting for many of her most beloved hymns and to highlight the impact of her work on the everyday lives of millions of people. The movie was a production C. O. Baptista Films (called in its early days the Scriptures Visualized Institute), which was one of the first Evangelical Protestant film companies. The company was based in Wheaton, Illinois and parts of the Fanny Crosby film were shot in the Morton Arboretum in the nearby town of Lisle.
