Customer Reviews of The Displaced Person
A short film deserving of more attention I must disagree with the previous reviewer. This version of the O'Connor story is beautifully produced as well as acted. It has a stateliness and sadness that approximate the themes of the story, that man cannot be saved by his reason and logic alone but in a world of inexplicable evil must submit to Christian salvation. Like it or not, politically correct or not, that's how O'Connor felt.
Irene Worth is magnificent as Mrs. McIntyre, too consumed with "practical" matters to recognize the lost state of her own soul. And she's matched by the likes of Shirley Stoler, Lane Smith (hiliarious), John Houseman, and a very young Samuel L. Jackson.
Lastly, plaudits go to the gentle, elegiac photography and Bill Conti's ravishingly beautiful music score.
Decent acting, terrible production
When I viewed this picture I enjoyed its interpretation of O'Connor's work quite thoroughly. However, I am saddened by the fact that the manner in which it was produced was so poor. It did not do justice to the profound themes of the story. On the other hand, I did admire the acting abilities of most involved in the film and wish that they could have had a better opportunity to display their skills.
