    Beatifully done, considering the technology of the time. The volume of the sound was not consistent, stay away from the speakers. The story appeals to people with Christian beliefs. Love conquers all.

    Pros: Fantastic

    Cons: None

    I Saw this Movie in 1953 As A young boy.
    I was one of the most fantastic movies of its time.
    To bad they could not produce pictures like this in this age but the cost would too much.
