Description

Entrepreneur Sam Hersh founded Family Films in 1946 to create spiritually driven entertainment for the entire family. Top Hollywood talent enhances these four inspired shorts from Family Films. Former Child star Dickie Jones takes on grown up roles in 2 of these scripture-driven tales, and actress Gale Storm, on the brink of TV fame as My Little Margie, shows off her considerable acting chops.

The Family Films Collection is part of the Gospel Films Archive, a multi-volume collection of rare and vintage Christian movies produced in the 20th century by independent Christian producers as well as major Hollywood studios. These vintage movies demonstrate how the Christian message was communicated to 20th century audiences through visual media. They also provide a heartwarming nostalgic experience that fans of classic movies will love. Though they are from a bygone era, these films often tackle subjects that remain surprisingly relevant for contemporary audiences.

- Enjoyable

These films are entertaining, very much to the point, and offer a glimpse of the gospel and Jesus teachings from a very different culture that existed only a short time ago.
