This is a beautiful film about a beautiful human being, Francis of Assisi. Rarely does the screen offer so rich a biographical experience of a most unselfish, giving, and loving an individual.
Bradford Dillman plays the title role with understanding, humility and restraint. Delores Hart embodies the love and kindness of her humble and inspiring spiritual leader. Stuart Whitman offers a contrasting characterization that enhances the human conflicts characteristic of the religious scenario.
This is far from a run-of-the-mill commercial enterprise; on the contrary, it offers those gifts so many of us cherish and strive for. Kudos for this rich production and the inspired message it offers.
