The film continues as a dramatic but faithful presentation of the parable. The scenes of 'riotious living' are presented with such restraint that one is inclined to wonder how the son spent all his money. He buys new clothes, flings money to a dancing girl (modestly clothed) and ap- parently spends the rest of his money on food and drink. Both the acting and voices of the characters are excellent. The sets and costumes appear reasonably authentic. This picture may be used with any group to which the parable would ordi- narily be taught. Its use will contribute greatly to the realistic qualities of the story .so that it will have an impact on the audience which the story alone, fa- miliar as it is, could not possibly have. It will prove exceptionally valuable in pro- moting a discussion of the nature of God's love as Jesus represented it in the char- acter of the prodigal's father.
