The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima

Each year Christian believers from around the world throng the Portuguese village of Fatima. Here they worship God - and remember the children who first heralded The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima.

This much- loved movie thoughtfully recreates the 1917 events that brought hope and new religious fervor to a war- ravaged world. Three peasant youths see a vision: a woman in a cloud of light offering words of faith and prophecy. They face skepticism and torture - but are soon embraced by faithful masses drawn by the promise of a miracle. Director john Brahm skillfully balances simplicity and soectacle, all powerfully supported by Max Steiner's Oscar-nominated score. As the New York Journal- American observed the movie "lights up the screen like a ray of sunshine."
