In the early 20th century, William Spence and Hope Morris Spence are a Methodist minister and his wife. From Central Canada, William forwent his medical school education in Toronto to become a minister, much to the chagrin of Hope's well-off parents of Stratford, Ontario. Regardless of the unknowns of their first posting in rural Iowa, the only posting available, Hope married William in 1904. The adjustment to their new life was initially more difficult for Hope, especially their new poor economic standing and having their life not wholly being their own but rather that of their congregation, as William had the focus of this decision on which to drive his purpose. Their life over the next twenty years or so is presented, which eventually includes three children and they being constantly on the move as William gets assigned from one parish to another across the United States. William has a strong mindset, but will admittedly change his mind if he is proven to be wrong, and Hope generally supports William in his decisions regardless of the sacrifice to her or the children. The only seeming exception to that latter point is Hope's desire to ultimate to settle into one place that they can call home to provide them, especially the children, with a sense of belonging. They believe they've found that place when they move into a parish in Denver following the great war, with a booming economy one that has the money to accomplish what William would like to accomplish for his work in the name of God. William will however find that with money among his congregation comes a sense of entitlement which might not mesh with his view of bringing the teachings of God to the people.

身为不信教人士看这种题材还是有些费劲,不过parson真的不好当啊,当然了parson家属更难当【好奇going my way是否借鉴了本片,不过加入了歌舞元素确实更易让大众接受

FM43/喜欢下雨天和老园丁喝茶谈心的那场戏。结尾送别场景,高耸入云的教堂,感人。

片子不太行吧?不能说主角本身一点传奇色彩没有——当然不能。但是作为传记片,能把一个牧师坎坷的传教历程拍的这么平淡无聊也是够了。不过马奇这部里演的真好啊,天生就一张圣母脸。
