Rating: - The Left Hand of God
I first saw this movie as a kid when it was first released. I have seen it a number of times since then and always enjoy it. Is the casting a little 'off'? Certainly! Is the idea of Bogart as a priest somewhat strange? Absolutely! But does he play the role well? Yes! Is Lee J. Cobb amusing as a Chinese Warlord? Indeed! Is his make-up exaggerated? Yes, beyond belief!!! But again, does he play his role well? Yes! And the others, do they play their roles well? No question! I read the ... Read More
Rating:  - Bogart 's performance is overly restrained and unrewarding...
"The Left Hand of God" is one of these barren efforts and Bogart is the victim of an inconsequential script that find him portraying an American pilot forced down in China during World War II who joins up with a Chinese warlord (Lee J.

Rating:  - Left Hand of God VHS ~ Edward Dmytryk [VHS Tape]
I have been looking for this movie for many years. Tape was received in excellent shape and I have enjoyed seeing the movie again after about 51 years.
Rating: - Only one point to make
This is one of the good ones. Moviegoers who are not traditionally devout, who find no comfort in organized religion, often find they can't stand movies with any religious content. This is a good one, though. Humphrey Bogart plays an American pilot who has found he has only one way to escape the Chinese warlord (Lee J. Cobb? LEE J. COBB? Yeah, really!) who has practically owned him for years. Rent it first, if you like: this is one of the good ones, though.
Rating: - Some Flaws, but Surprisingly Good
The Story: Humphrey Bogart plays a pilot who crashes in rural China, is captured/enslaved/employeed by the local warlord (Lee J. Cobb), escapes, and poses as the new priest coming to a mission, where there is a doctor (E.G. Marshall), the doctor's wife (Agnes Moorehead), and an assistant (Gene Tierney). Bogart never fits well into the role of the priest, but then that misfitting is fitting, as a pilot-turned-enslaved soldier would be awkward if he posed as a priest. Tierney falls guiltily in love with ... Read More
