As a Jew, it feels odd to be liking this movie, but I still do. Long, richly textured in a way few films are now, this is an antidote to the glitz and emptiness of "pop" cinema. Tom Tryon gives a quiet, thoughtful performance, hinting at complexity, but for priestly purposes holding it back. John Huston is a great Cardinal Glennon, funny without being farcical; Carol Lynley gives dimension to what could have been a one-note role as Tryon's self-destructive sister; and Patrick O'Neal is very good as a bigot who gets away with some pretty nasty dialogue for 1963...in reference to a crucifix and a beaten black priest, he says, "Now, the other guy...he was queer for it." Also, Jerome Moross's lovely music.

Just excellent! The ordination, mwah! And then the invasion at the end "Quick - the Blessed Sacrament!"

It's nothing more than a kitsch take on the good and bad of the Catholic Church, but it has the chutzpah to pose as a work of art.

This is an extremely well constructed film, made with a balance that keeps its overflowing plot line in perfect control.

I loved this film. I think you'd have to be very cynical to dislike it, or maybe have a deep-seated dislike of Catholics. I grant that there is an earnestness in the acting which is perhaps dated, but which really fades out once the great John Huston comes on scene. He has a wonderful gravitas, and it's worth watching just for him. The sister and her plight is entirely believable as is the priest's struggle with his calling. You'd be forgiven for thinking that it was a Catholic nostalgia film at first, but this melts to reveal an appropriately reflective tale of conscience and calling. Nor will I criticize the film for it's pace for I think it suits the atmosphere of the piece, but I would recommend watching it in a pensive mood.
