Description

The Gospel Blimp — (1967, color) 37 minutes. This is the famous 1960s classic comedy that chronicles the wild idea by a group of Christian neighbors to evangelize the whole town by buying a full-blown blimp air ship to spread the Gospel from on high. Everything goes haywire in a rollicking series of misadventures. Among their ill-conceived techniques is dropping Bible tracts like bombs on unwary victims and blasting Christian music so loud it pains the ears of citizens and induces dogs to howl. The film adaptation of Christian author Joseph Bayly'sl popular satire is a sly indictment of non-personal evangelism.

Mr. Big — (1968, B&W) 28 minutes. This imaginative tale of redemption concerns an arrogant wealthy businessman suddenly confronted by his prideful attitude following an arrest for drunken driving. "Mr. Big" is caught in a nightmare world that includes a Twilight Zone-style dream sequence where money and power have no influence. His cellmate, a former "Mr. Big" himself who has become a Christian, reaches out to share his faith in Christ. A cast of familiar Hollywood faces greatly enhances the experience.

Front Page Bible — (1959, B&W) 28 minutes. Leading businessmen oppose a young couple who, after taking over a dying small town newspaper, crusade for local reforms by basing news on Biblical principles.
