This sounds like a great movie for my family to watch! It is especially interesting because we had a dinner conversation just this week about the podcast that I was listening to in which the group of 30-something’s were discussing the issues at the border and how so many are participating in the human tragedies that are occurring (like trafficking) because they are afraid of losing their jobs and failing to provide for their families—and the people discussing stated that most people will do anything for the sake of their children—even evil. And that is true—if your highest good is the physical realm. But if you believe you have an immortal soul you have the means to stand up to any coercion to evil. I always think of the mother in the book of Maccabees urging her sons to accept death rather than forsake God. This is why true Christians will always be the last ones standing.

Word & Song to the rescue! I've been trying to think of the name of this movie for months. I watched it a while back and, clearly, had all my actors mixed up. I kept looking up Fred MacMurray movies, but of course it was Burt Lancaster. Thank you so much. There's always breaking news at Word & Song!
