I'd Climb the Highest Mountain

A Methodist minister is given a new posting. It is in the mountains of Georgia. The area is the Blue Ridge. His wife comes with him. She grew up in the city. Country life is strange to her, and she has to learn how to keep a house from scratch. His congregation is small. He attends to their troubles one by one. What comes to him is not only religious but everyday. The drowning of a neighbour shakes him and he thinks his own path over again. Then an epidemic breaks out, and it tests him along with everyone else. The film comes from Corra Harris’s novel of 1910. Susan Hayward and William Lundigan appear in the eighty eight minute film, an American production Henry King finished in 1951.
