Description:
Richard Todd delivers a thoroughly winning performance as Peter Marshall, the Scottish-born minister who became Chaplain of the U.S. Senate. While still a boy, Peter wants only to go to sea. But as a young man he experiences a profound awakening which leaves him with the unwavering conviction that he has been called upon to do the Lord's work. He completes his religious training in the United States, where he presides over several congregations. A compelling speaker who believes religion should be fun, Marshall inspires young people to renew their interest in the church, and his ministries prosper. Eventually, he becomes pastor of the prestigious Church of the Presidents, in Washington D.C. and is asked to serve as spiritual guide for the Senate. Co-starring Jean Peters as Marshall's devoted wife, Catherine, 'A Man Called Peter' is the deeply moving tale of 'a man and his close friendship with God'

Rating: - Wholesome & inspiring biography
Hollywood doesn't make many movies like this anymore! Richard Todd powerfully portrays the Rev. Peter Marshall in this biographical film that follows Marshall from his humble beginnings as a sea-loving laddie in Scotland to his years of service in America, first as a pastor and then as Senate chaplain.
The film features several of his sermons, including one delivered to the U.S. Naval Academy on December 7, 1941, just before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Todd delivers these eloquent ... Read More
