Holden is a kind of leather-jacketed variation of Bing Crosbys sweatshirted Father OMalley and Webb a wry, caustic version of Barry Fitzgeralds Father Fitzgibbon in McCareys Going My Way (1944). Variety Indicative of the radical generosity of McCareys directorial personality. He tried to extend the chance of forgiveness and redemption
to even his most repulsive characters. Indeed, forgiveness, possibly the single most important theme of Christianity, is one of McCareys major themes. Paul Harrill, Senses of Cinema The great director Leo McCareys final film, Satan Never Sleeps (1962) stars William Holden and Clifton Webb as a pair of priests struggling to maintain a mission post during Maos 1949 Chinese Communist revolution. Complicating matters is the presence of a lovely young girl (France Nuyen) unfortunately in love with Holdens Father OBanion. Adapted by Claude Binyon and McCarey from a story by Pearl S. Buck, and featuring music by Richard Rodney Bennett and cinematography by that superb imagist, Oswald Morris. LANGUAGE: English ?
