Oscar
nominated for his role in the film, Gregory Peck stars in Fox's The
Keys of the Kingdom (1944), which is a thrilling adaptation of an
acclaimed novel by A.J. Cronin. The film features stunning
cinematography by Arthur Miller and a fantastic score by Alfred
Newman - all of which make this for a pretty entertaining, if not at
times slow, film. Twilight Time delivers a great release here that
fans of Gregory Peck won't want to miss.
The
film also stars Vincent Price, Thomas Mitchell, Roddy McDowall, and
Rose Stradner to name a few.
A
young priest, Father Chisholm (Peck) is sent to China to establish a
Catholic parish among the non-Christian Chinese. While his boyhood
friend, also a priest, flourishes in his calling as a priest in a
more Christian area of the world, Father Chisholm struggles. He
encounters hostility, isolation, disease, poverty and a variety of
set backs which humble him, but make him more determined than ever to
succeed. Over the span of many years, he gains acceptance and a
growing congregation among the Chinese, through his quiet
determination, understanding and patience.
Presented
in black and white 1080p high definition with a full frame aspect
ratio of 1.33:1 and a great sounding lossless English 2.0 DTS-HD MA
(Master Audio) track, the film looks and sounds better than it ever
has before on various formats, especially DVD. Also on the disc is
an English 1.0 DTS-HD MA track that sounds pretty clean too. I'm a
fan of watching black and white films on Blu-ray and this release is
no exception.
