Review :
I do the work before the night comes
Produced by the Lutheran Missouri Synod I'll Give My Life plays like an expanded version of one of their television episodes of This Is The Life which was a long running television series with religious dramas. It's a sincere effort helped in large part by the professional cast of familiar faces.
Ray Collins plays the head of a successful engineering firm who has hopes that his son John Bryant will join him in the firm. But Collins gets the shock of his life when Bryant tells him after war service he wants to go to the seminary and become a minister. Later on he tells him he wants to become a missionary and gets an assignment in New Guinea. Even worse Collins's secretary Angie Dickinson quits and marries Bryant and they start a family in New Guinea.
The film is played out over the course of the next ten or so years and it goes through the trials and heartaches and tragedies of what happens and what can happen to missionaries. Of course the film takes the position that the work is worth it and has to be done before night comes in the biblical sense.
Religious folks will find this an inspiring film and it truly is a well made film with a simple and powerful message.
