“As of this review, there is only one other review, and it is very accurate. I want to elaborate on some specific points that make me give it a good, but not stellar, rating.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWe have two major plots going on at once in the story of a fairly upper class radio evangelist who signs a contract with a hateful, mercantile man who promotes him to go on an expensive tour. One plot is about a son the man had from an affair that enrages his employer, and which he keeps secret. The second is his niece, who is a party girl with a fairly good heart whom he becomes guardian to following her motheru0026#39;s death.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn ways, this is mature, but in ways it seems very insubstantial in the motivations of the protagonist. To most of us, his motives seem very meager in his willingness to succumb to his bossu0026#39;s demands, but thatu0026#39;s probably why most of us arenu0026#39;t in high positions.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHis motivation to keep his son a secret never really pans out for me, even before his boss demands it be a secret. While his boss seems a bit of a caricature to most of us, I do realize such men do exist in the upper crust, and again this is due to most of us being totally alien to the life style.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie does a pretty good job in showing the motivations of the people. Iu0026#39;m not sure it shows enough to persuade ordinary people to accept the protagonistu0026#39;s desire to keep his secret. I know itu0026#39;s a hard thing to tell your wife, but considering what the man preached, it especially seemed necessary. The man was educated enough to know the phrase u0026quot;oh what a tangle web we weaveu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOn the other plot of the niece, I donu0026#39;t want to spoil that. It gets very scary, though. The main characters pull this through, and the actors and actresses are good. Some of them are asked to play very shallow and horrible characters, and that takes some guts.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all, it was a worth while film.”
