The result is indescribably dull. Murray starred in the Hoodlum Priest (1960) a more effective film on a similar subject.Joseph Kearnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16724133791551749216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-37057317965742706642016-07-18T09:50:45.499-07:002016-07-18T09:50:45.499-07:00SaucyL,

Have you checked your local public library...or some area churches? Many churches maintain a book library and may be willing to loan it to you.Mike Bennett Graphicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968787543132410037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-30025107638335054752016-07-18T09:45:41.573-07:002016-07-18T09:45:41.573-07:00You wrap up your review with the words "ham f...You wrap up your review with the words "ham fisted" ...funny, but those honestly are the very same words I was thinking while reading your review...as in "Wow! This review is VERY ham fisted!" <br />Peter, if you are willing to be honest and transparent about it, your problem with this film is not just in its production quality, but you very clearly have a problem with its Christian message. From reading your review, one might conclude that in truth, you find the message more offensive than the movie! <br />Can you share why you have such a problem with Christianity?Mike Bennett Graphicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968787543132410037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-87364414416110383652016-02-11T01:48:20.408-08:002016-02-11T01:48:20.408-08:00Hello Pete,

I understand that this is religious flick (my theology class). I was able to watch the movie here : <a href="http://vu45.com/the-cross-and-the-switchblade-1970-mobile-movies-full-hd" rel="nofollow">The Cross and the Switchblade (1970)</a> but i still need to compare it with the book. Do you happen to know where i could get a PDF copy of the book please?<br /><br />Cheers,<br />SaucyLAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17893966074737220345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-66980333727809729052015-09-10T11:25:46.958-07:002015-09-10T11:25:46.958-07:00Thanks for bringing the error to my attention.

The Cross and the Switchblade ...Check your facts...<br /><b>The Cross and the Switchblade</b> was a <b>true story</b> about a preacher named David Wilkerson. You said he was a priest, and you called him "father David", but he was never a priest, and he was never called "father" either in real life or in the movie because <b>he was a protestant, <i>not</i> a Roman Catholic.</b><br /><br /><b>David Wilkerson</b> passed away in 2011.<br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Wilkerson" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Wilkerson</a><br /><br /><b>Nicky Cruz</b> is still alive. He became a minister and is still in ministry.<br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicky_Cruz" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicky_Cruz</a>Mike Bennett Graphicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968787543132410037noreply@blogger.com
