Overall this movie is outstanding. It is not perfect, but it is still one of the most inspirational religious films I have ever seen. I show it in my 2nd and 3rd grade catechism classes as an example of the dedication, courage and strength everyone (children and adults) should have, especially when being ridiculed and persecuted for their faith. A few of the special effects are below the standards of modern films, but you have to remember this film was produced in the early 1950's. For the most part the performances are very convincing and entertaining, especially Gilbert Roland as Hugo da Silva. The child actors are good most of the time (occasional overacting). Children and religious adults who are willing to overlook the problems with the effects will benefit from this film.
