THE FUGITIVE (1947) (1947)

JOHN FORD

Plot

The film is based on the Graham Greene novel 'The Power and the Glory' about a revolutionary priest, in Central America, who finds refuge with a faithful parishioner when the government outlaw Christianity. Greene's complicated morality is dropped, but is replaced with some pretty stunning cinematography, in John Ford's atmospheric adaptation featuring an impressive performance from Henry Ford in the title role.
