Winner of the Oscar for Best Actor (Sidney Poitier)
Homer Smith is a young, single, ex-GI headed west looking for construction jobs, when he stops at a farm for water when his car overheats. Only it’s not a farm, it’s the refuge of five German nuns who escaped from East Germany. Smith is easy-going and agrees to do some work for them even, against his better judgment, beginning construction on a chapel, much needed by the local migrant community. Smith asks himself how can it be built single-handedly and how will five penniless nuns be able to buy the necessary materials. The mother superior convinces him that faith can move mountains. . .or build a chapel.
