Power of Prayer Emphasized In Filming of Peal's Life Some four years after read ing in The Reader's Digest excerpts from Arthur Gor don's successful book, "Min ister to Millions," . Producer Frank Ross has set his cam eras turning on a major mo tion picture inspired by the volume. The film chronicles events in the life of one of America most influential citizens, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, the onetime Detroit crime report er who turned to the ministry and won worldwide recogni tion as author of "The Power of Positive Thinking.' Maker of "The Robe," Mr. Ross does not take his film making lightly. He hews to no crowded schedule of produc tion, and averages only one picture every three years. "The Story of Norman Peale is an unusual cinema venture because It deals with the ex periences of a man still very much alive and active. More over, in this age of sensation alized cinema, with themes too frequently running the gamut from perversion to crime, Mr. Ross has chosen to film an entertainment pre sentation on the efficacy of prayer. Includes Excerpts The picture will Include ex cerpts from several of the sermons which have made Dr. Peale's ministry, including his tenure at New York's Marble Collegiate Church, so notable, but it is also calculated to cast new light upon the min istry as a profession. Eleanore Griffin, who wrote A Man Called Peter," and John Block have fashioned script warm in humor and gay romance which details Dr, Peale's childhood resentment of the ministry (his father was country preacher), his ex periences as a crime reporter on a Detroit newspaper, and his wooing of Ruth Stafford while she was yet a college student. It goes on to depict their marriage and the events which led to and fol lowed publication of his book, one of the publishing phe nomena of modern times. Dramatic Crisis Indeed, the book's popular success speeded indictment of its author by many peers whose sincerity and view points he respected, creating highly dramatic crisis re corded in the film. Following his reading of the article in The Reader's Digest four years ago, Mr. Ross flew to New York to dis cuss with Dr. Peale the pos sibility of using the Gordon book at basis for a motion picture. Dr. Peale approved of what Mr. Ross hoped to ac complish with such a film, and gave him access to per sonal papers, writings, family records and audiotape tran scriptions of sermons. Since he speaks without notes or manuscript, these transcrip tions have been of great value. To play the title role Mr. Ross chose Don Murray, who not only starred in but also wrote the muchly - discussed film, 'The Hoodlum Priest." From television and Broad way, where she has con tributed noteworthy stage characterizations in "Look Back in Anger" and "Sweet Bird of Youth," he cast Diana Hyland as Ruth Stafford Peale. This is her feature film debut. A firm believer in the American film industry, Mr. Ross scheduled filming of the entire "Peale" undertaking in the Los Angeles area. The director is Denis Sand ers, who came to Hollywood's attention through the simple expedient ot winning Academy Award almost be fore anyone in the motion pic ture community knew he existed.
