Featuring an Academy AwardÂ(r)-winning performance by Poitier*, and nominated** for four additional OscarsÂ(r), including Best Picture, Lilies of the Field is a funny, sentimental, charming and uplifting film (The Hollywood Reporter). Homer Smith (Sidney Poitier), an itinerant handyman, is driving through the Arizona desert when he meets five impoverished nuns. Stopping to fix their leaky farmhouse roof, Homer discovers that not only will the Mother Superior not pay him for the job, but she also wants him to build their chapelfor free! Hesitant at first, Homer soon finds himself single-handedly raising the chapel and the financing. But although hewill not receive a monetary reward, Homer knows that when his work is done, he'll leave that dusty desert town a much better place than when he found it. *1963: Actor **1963: Supporting Actress (Skala), Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography (B&W)

Sidney Poitier Great
Watching this movie showed me why Sidney Poitier is superior to most of the actors of todays mold. It is a joy to watch at any time.

Black and white movie
This was a movie I remember for my younger years. It did not disappoint. The granddaughters (10 and 12) thought it was very good. We had good discussions over the next couple days and the song “Amen” was sung on our walks, lol.

Saw this on tv as a film many years ago and liked it.When I saw it listed, had to have it as it is charming,moving but not too serious(there are touches of humour). Generally a feelgood film, no harm in that, something you don't get too much of these cynical times.Poitier deserved his Oscar for it. He can usually be relied on to give a good performance. It showed in the developing relationship with the nuns especially the wiley Mother Superior and the Anapabtist Poitier character.

Great film
A terrific black and white film. Poitier under duress is persuaded to build a chapel for the poor nuns living in the remote desert. They won't pay him and have no money for the materials. But they and the local people have faith. I loved this film.
