Description

This week on the OETA Movie Club Podcast we discuss Inherit the Wind (1960) and Lilies of the Field (1963).  In Inherit the Wind we follow Tennessee teacher Bertram Cates (Dick York) as he is sent to trial for violating the Butler Act, a state law prohibiting public school teachers from teaching evolution instead of creationism in the 1920s. This drew national attention from the media.In Lilies of the Field we follow traveling handyman Homer Smith (Sidney Poitier) as he stops by a rural farm in Arizona. There, he is greeted by a group of Roman Catholic nuns who emigrated from Germany. After realizing that the rural farm needs work done, Homer takes on various repair projects for the nuns. Impressed by Homer's kindness, the nuns begin to believe that he has been sent by God.Support the show
