Humphrey Bogart Movie:

The Left Hand of God Reviews:
When will it go digital?
2009-11-19 - I first saw this movie in my Cinema and Theater Class when I was pursuing my AA degree. It was an eye opener for me since this was not one of HB's well known movies. Like the movie "Sahara", this is one that you would want to keep in your library. But when will it go digital? Do I have to go to HK or SOKOR to get a digital copy?

A must in DVD for his original CinemaScope format
2009-03-25 - Only one comment. This film was shown, in his original realise, in the best widescreen format even for today standards: CinemaScope, 4-Track Stereophonic sound and De-Luxe color. A format made for the large movie palaces of the era. So, the the best way to enjoy it is in a DVD format, widescreen, and good stereo sound.

The Left Hand of God
2007-06-02 - I first saw this movie as a kid when it was first released. I have seen it a number of times since then and always enjoy it. Is the casting a little 'off'? Certainly! Is the idea of Bogart as a priest somewhat strange? Absolutely! But does he play the role well? Yes! Is Lee J. Cobb amusing as a Chinese Warlord? Indeed! Is his make-up exaggerated? Yes, beyond belief!!! But again, does he play his role well? Yes! And the others, do they play their roles well? No question! I read the reviews posted here and find that what others say is true - but - this is still an entertaining film, reasonably well acted, and has a superb cast. This is not a movie to be dismissed. It stands the test of time and it stands up to be reseeing. I whole heartedly recommend it to everyone.

Bogart's role has great potential for suspense...
2007-01-05 - Bogart portrayed an American pilot forced down in China during World War II who joins up with a Chinese warlord (Lee J. Cobb). When Bogart decides to escape, he assumes the garb of a murdered priest and finds seclusion in a remote mission...

The role has great potential for suspense as to face one crisis after another as a result of his masquerade, but for some reason his performance is overly restrained and unrewarding...

Gene Tierney worked for an enviable number of great director: Fritz Lang, John Ford, Josef Von Sternberg, Ernst Lubitsch, Otto Preminger, Joseph L. Mankiewicz and Clarence Brown... Although her roles were not very often pivotal to their subject, and only a few of her films are among these directors' best remembered works, it all adds up to the intriguing enigma that was this woman's great attraction...

This exotic classic beauty is here a nurse called Anne Scott and she is expecting with Dr. David Sigman (E.G. Marshall) and his wife Beryl (Agnes Moorehead) the arrival of Father O'Shea...

The Story is set in 1947, in a remote province of China disturbed by the civil war...
