This WAS my all-time favorite Christian movie (until "Facing The Giants" came along), but it's still way, way up there on my short list & I surely loves it to death ...
Sugar (Whitman Mayo) is simply delightful (& if I could find a way to bottle his super-Sugar-sweetness & sell it, I would be a rich woman right now) & (although I never could bring myself to believe that he was an old Jewish shopkeeper) I did SO thoroughly enjoy Burt Reynold's performance as Eli Zeal & the way he was able to pull the right emotion out of every single scene &, really, all the actors did such a stunning job in this movie, it's hard to find any fault ...
There's also lots of really cool behind-the-scenes features (& some will probably make you cry just as much as the movie) & I find myself having to purchase this DVD over & over again, because I keep giving it away ...
