10/10
Simple but powerful
25 February 2013
I love this movie because it contains the strength of purity and goodness, but showing the frailty of human weakness. This is by far Angie Dickinson's best performance. I feel this role suits her better than the sexy roles she later played.

As a former nurse, I almost envied her situation. However, I would have fallen in love with Henri Derode, and not the Lustful Dr Wilton.

I loved Rachel Cade's bravery, standing strong in her beliefs, although her sin eventually weakened her devotion, temporarily. She accomplished so much with the people of Dibela, way beyond what she expected, and some of the them developed an even stronger faith than Rachel herself.

I was delighted at the end, that Rachel decided to stay in Dibela instead of going to Boston with the Lustful Dr Wilton. It would have been great if it had ended with Rachel marrying Henri Derode.
