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.
