Ralph Nelson's Lilies of the Field is a film that just seems to work.
Sidney Poitier, around whom everything hinges, received a Best Actor statuette for his role of Homer Smith, five years after his nomination for The Defiant Ones.
Produced on a tiny budget, and photographed in gorgeous black & white by Ernest Haller (look him up), the film arrives on Blu-ray from Twilight Time via MGM, who have provided a quality master.
A lovely little film, and worth your time, if you don't mind viewing something that will make you feel good.
