Excellent film on Martin Luther
This year (2017) is the 500 th anniversary of the beginning of Martin Luther's work, so this is a good time to view this classic black & white film. Produced in late 1953 and released for viewing in commercial theaters as well as in churches and schools, it received two Academy Award nominations in 1954, including Best (B&W) Cinematography and Best (B&W) Art Direction. Basically, the movie is historically accurate regarding the characters it portrays and the events it includes. The various actors and actresses in the film accurately and appropriately represent the historical characters they play. Niall MacGinnis is superb as Martin Luther. Although the film is old, it is absolutely the best one on Martin Luther's life and work. The viewer must overlook the fact that while all the dialogue is in English (with language subtitles in some editions), originally German and Latin were the languages used by the characters portrayed in the film. At its best, this particular movie can be both entertaining and informative to the viewer, as well as intellectually and spiritually challenging. Personally, I have watched this movie nearly every year for over sixty years, and I have always seen and heard something very interesting and stimulating in it. I expect that most viewers will benefit from it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

I had been looking for this DVD for a long time. I was drawn to it since I saw it one time in my youth during Lenten season and thought recently, I had to put it with my other Christian movies and shows. Definitely has a wonderful portrayal of one of the most revolutionary moments in Christian history! Must watch!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Martin Luther, after 500 years
In the 500th anniversary year of he Reformation I wanted to watch the "older" version of Luther Movie. Found this one and ordered it. I appreciate the story telling and even a slightly different angle of the story from the "new" version. I know that movies can tell a story, although limited, but i feel this one does a very good job. What a fascinating man and a true gift from God.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Love the DVD as a Lutheran it shows our history.
This is the second copy I have ordered of the 50 th anniversary of the black and white DVD. The first one came with a insert where you could order courses for teaching Sunday school. I lost the insert and ordered a brand new copy. It came sealed in plastic wrap but no insert.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
