The first time I saw it was on the late show. I still get chills. What a great thing this movie is. I saw this wonderful flick in the theater when it came out. I wish I could remember who it was or exactly what he said. I only yesterday saw this comment, and I apologize for the extremely delayed response, but thanks for reading my blog!
I love your observations on this wonderful movie. It was shown year after year in my little home town theater as a free movie for kids, possibly during the Christmas school break.
I chuckled in agreement with your comments about the Perry Mason theme music. I, too, was terrified of that music! Now, I love the Perry Mason reruns but the music still gives a little chill. I watch the show now, as an adult, but the theme music prompted such a sense of dread in me when I was a child, and my grandma, who raised me, never missed an episode….

These contemplations proved the inspiration for some of his greatest writings. What was the health problem from which Martin Luther suffered? In the movie 'Vanilla Sky' there is a song being played in the background with Tom Cruise in an elevator. Does anyone know the name of the song or artist? Luther Vandross Vandross, Luther. We ask our submitters to thoroughly research questions and provide sources where possible. But he was bitterly disappointed. Yet even if victory is won in the fight against segregation, discrimination will still persist in the economic field and in social intercourse.
Realistic as he is, Martin Luther King knows this. In his book Strength to Love he writes:. True integration will be achieved by true neighbors who are willingly obedient to unenforceable obligations.
Is it possible that the road he and his people have charted may bring a ray of hope to other parts of the world, a hope that conflicts between races, nations, and political systems can be solved, not by fire and sword, but in a spirit of true brotherly love? It sounds like a dream of a remote and unknown future; but life is not worth living without a dream and without working to make the dream reality. Today, now that mankind is in possession of the atom bomb, the time has come to lay our weapons and armaments aside and listen to the message Martin Luther King has given us through the unarmed struggle he has waged on behalf of his race.
Luther King looks also beyond the frontiers of his own country. He says:. Such folly was once called moral failure; today it will lead to universal suicide …. If we assume that mankind has a right to survive, then we must find an alternative to war and destruction. Though Martin Luther King has not personally committed himself to the international conflict, his own struggle is a clarion call to all who work for peace. He is the first person in the Western world to have shown us that a struggle can be waged without violence.
He is the first to make the message of brotherly love a reality in the course of his struggle, and he has brought this message to all men, to all nations and races. Today we pay tribute to Martin Luther King, the man who has never abandoned his faith in the unarmed struggle he is waging, who has suffered for his faith, who has been imprisoned on many occasions, whose home has been subject to bomb attacks, whose life and the lives of his family have been threatened, and who nevertheless has never faltered.
To this undaunted champion of peace the Nobel Committee of the Norwegian Parliament has awarded the Peace Prize for the year Jahn delivered this speech on December 10, , in the auditorium of the University of Oslo.
This text in English translation, with some minor emendations, is taken from Les Prix Nobel en King, who was present, received his award from Mr. Jahn, accepting in the name of a civil rights movement determined to establish a reign of freedom and a rule of justice and terming the award a recognition of non-violence as the answer to the crucial political and moral question of our time, the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to violence and oppression.

Arnulf Overland. Then came the bus boycott of December 5, How was it possible to obtain such strong support? Can the words of our poet Arnulf Overland 8 come true? The unarmed only can draw on sources eternal. The spirit alone gives victory. Such folly was once called moral failure; today it will lead to universal suicide … If we assume that mankind has a right to survive, then we must find an alternative to war and destruction.
