A fine example of an old-fashioned heartwarming family film.

Really nice find. Joel McCrea his usual amazing self. Plays a humble, charismatic white preacher in reconstruction rural southern town. The black actors don't act ridiculous. The Klan situation is addressed, albeit in a paternalistic, white-savior manner. But given the time, a decent step forward.
