ST. BENNY THE DIP(1951)

Three fugitives from the law seek refuge at
a church where the reverend knows they're there
but keeps quiet! They wind up stealing some
clothing from the church that is church clothing!
Of course they constantly get mistaken for
men of the cloth and have to deal with it!!
This has the great Lionell Stander in it!!
The only real problem with this, well two
problems, it's just a little disjointed
and the ending leaves a little to be
desired! Still, not a bad movie! C+

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

Regarding the previous comment about being
unable to see St. Benny the Dip as a parody
of Les Miserables, I, too, do not see a parody.
I do see, however, an homage to Les Miserable.
There is in both works the common theme of
redemption. In the same way the priest in
Les Miserables covers for Jean Valjean and
gracefully provides for him, so, too, does
the priest in St. Benny the Dip provide for
our three scoundrels, and that gracious act
in the same way begins the process of
redemption. True, Jean Valjean was not
the scoundrel that Benny, Matthew, and
Monk are, but they, like Valjean move
from outside the law to inside the law.

Grace begets grace. - shaneskiser
