"Lillies of the Field" Tribute

This video is a tribute to the movie "Lillies of the Field" which was released in 1963 & it starred Sidney Poitier(who won an Academy Award) as Homer Smith & Lilia Skala as Mother Superior.

Here is a brief plot summary:

Sidney Poitier plays Homer Smith, an aimless ex-GI who takes a temporary handyman job at a Southwestern farm maintained by five German nuns. It is the cherished dream of the Mother Superior (Lilia Skala) to build a chapel (or, as she says, a "shapel"). She is convinced that the personable Homer has been sent from Above to help her realize her dream. He protests loudly and rudely, but she will not be dissuaded. How Homer accomplishes her goal, endears himself to the surrounding townsfolk, and avoids an arrest for a previous crime, comprises the heart of Lilies of the Field. The film, adapted by James Poe from a novel by William E. Barrett, was later remade for television, and it won Poitier an Academy Award for Best Actor, the first time that award was given to an African-American. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

I highly recommend this movie if you haven't seen it. It is a great movie! Enjoy! God Bless! :)
