The Left Hand of God
US 1955. Twentieth Century Fox. 87m. Cinemascope
An American pilot takes the identity of a priest in order to save a small village and escape the Chinese warlord who has enslaved him.
A heavy amount of Hollywood gloss smothers this earnest melodrama, shot in colourful locations, but can't get away from the fact that Humphrey Bogart doesn't convince as a priest - either fake or real. In spite of the cliches, it still holds the attention.
Written by: Alfred Hayes, based on the novel by William E. Barrett.
Producer: Buddy Adler.
Director: Edward Dmytryk.
Starring: Humphrey Bogart, Gene Tierney, E.G. Marshall, Agnes Moorehead, Lee J. Cobb, Victor Sen Yung.
Photography: Franz Planer.
Music: Victor Young.
