Widely remembered today as the film for which Sidney Poitier became the first Black actor to win an Oscar in a leading performance, Lilies of the Field is more than a historical landmark. The plot — a small community of German nuns imposes on a Baptist handyman to support their dream of building a chapel — is conventional, but realized with sharp cultural observations and genuine spirituality as well as humor. Amen!
