"Nothing Less Than Magnificent." Variety
Don Murray (Bus Stop) and Keir Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey) deliver "honest, heartfelt" (Time) performances in this riveting true-life story of an inner-city hero. Charged with an intelligent screenplay, masterful direction and a powerful cast, The Hoodlum Priest is a "forceful, moving [and] thoroughly unpredictable' (Newsweek) film.
Reverend Charles Dismas Clark (Murray) is a man of the cloth who fights a never-ending battle to give ex-convicts a chance for a better life. His efforts are jeopardized, however, when a young parolee becomes caught in a tragic, horrifying conflict. As the wheels of justice turn, Clark's ideals are put to the ultimate test-and a young man's very life hangs in the balance.
