THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM (BLU-RAY)

“The magnanimity of Father Francis is inspiringly conveyed…Gregory Peck, a tall and spare newcomer, gives a quiet and forceful performance in the role of the priest and carries a fine impression of godly devotion and dignity.” - Bosley Crowther, The New York Times

“A cavalcade of a priest’s life, played excellently by Gregory Peck…what transcends all the cinemaction is the impact of tolerance, service, faith and godliness.” - Variety

An impressive spiritual epic, The Keys of the Kingdom (1944) is adapted from A.J. Cronin’s novel about a Scottish missionary’s life in China by two superlative screenwriters, Joseph L. Mankiewicz (who also produced) and Nunnally Johnson. Headlined by shooting star Gregory Peck (who earned an OscarR nod for his performance), this pluperfect example of A-picture elegance also features stunning cinematography by Arthur Miller (The Song of Bernadette) and a score from one of Hollywood’s greatest composers, Alfred Newman, available on this Twilight Time release as an isolated track.
