Sidney Poitier stars as a handyman who agrees to help a group of impoverished nuns build a chapel in the Arizona desert without pay. Poitier delivers an outstanding performance — going on to become the first Black male actor to receive an Academy Award for Best Actor. LILIES OF THE FIELD is a delightful and inspiring comedy-drama that continues to endure through the years.
