The Essentials
| WHO: | WHAT: |
|---|---|
| Francis Chisholm (younger) | Lovely adaptation of Cronin's novel about the life of a missionary. Gregory Peck plays the lead; our hero represents his youth. |
| WHY: | |
| Well worth seeing, tho most of our hero's scenes were sadly clipped. Read the book and use your imagination for best McDowall effect. | |
