Lilies Of The Field (1963) -- (Movie Clip) God Sets A Mighty Poor Table We still don’t know much about Homer Smith (Sidney Poitier), maybe an itinerant handyman in Arizona, except that he wanted to be paid, rather than be asked to stay to dinner with the band of European nuns, led by Lilia Skala as Mother Maria, early in Lilies Of The Field, 1963.

Left Hand Of God, The (1955) -- (Movie Clip) His Immortal Soul We know only that Humphrey Bogart is packing a gun and dressed as a priest, as he arrives at a mission in China, 1947, greeted by the Sigman's (E.G. Marshall, Agnes Moorehead) and nurse "Scotty" (Gene Tierney), early in The Left Hand Of God, 1955, also starring Lee J. Cobb.

Left Hand Of God, The (1955) -- (Movie Clip) I Wasn't Born A Priest Humphrey Bogart, going by "Father O'Shea" though we suspect he may not be the real thing, being shown around the post-WWII Chinese mission by fellow American, nurse "Scotty" (Gene Tierney), early in Edward Dmytryk's The Left Hand Of God, 1955, from the novel by William Edmund Barrett.

Left Hand Of God, The (1955) -- (Movie Clip) To Abstain From Carnal Desires First service by new priest O’Shea (Humphrey Bogart), in post-WWII China, Gene Tierney as “Scotty” and Agnes Moorehead as Beryl among those noticing something odd about him, but impressed with his Chinese, then puzzled by his encounter with an interloper (Leon Lontok), in The Left Hand Of God, 1955.

Lilies Of The Field (1963) -- (Movie Clip) "Vee Build A Shapel" Morning after his impromptu overnight stay with the immigrant nuns in Arizona after he did some work for them while passing by, Homer (Sidney Poitier) figures he’s outa there, but Mother Maria (Lilia Skala) has bigger plans, in Ralph Nelson’s Lilies Of The Field, 1963.

Lilies Of The Field (1963) -- (Movie Clip) My Skin Is Black Handyman Homer (Sidney Poitier) starting to enjoy after dinner, when he sees that Mother Maria (Lilia Skala) and the nuns (Lisa Mann, Isa Crino, Francesca Jarvis, Pamela Branch) are learning English from a record player, still on the first evening, in director Ralph Nelson’s Lilies Of The Field, 1963.

Lilies Of The Field (1963) -- (Movie Clip) You Don't Fuss With Your Contractor Homer Smith (Sidney Poitier) was leaving but agreed to drive Mother Maria (Lilia Skala) and Gertrude (Lisa Mann) into the nearby Arizona town, leading to an encounter with contractor Ashton (played by director Ralph Nelson), and a un-premeditated commitment, in Lilies Of The Field, 1963.

Lilies Of The Field (1963) -- (Movie Clip) He Has Sent Me A Big Strong Man From the opening, Sidney Poitier is somewhere in Arizona and needs water for his station wagon, and comes upon a group of presumably German nuns at a previously deserted ranch, Lilia Skala their chief, in director Ralph Nelson’s Lilies Of The Field, 1963.
