The Unfinished Task (1960)


The son of a wealthy business magnate gives up a bright future to preach the Word of God in the jungles of Africa much to the distress of his family. Bonus material: The Great Adventure (1956) starring Lyle Talbot, Jim Backus and Edward Arnold.

In this tearjerker, a morally disparate father and son attempt to reconcile their differences. The father is a major construction magnate who has dreamed of his son taking over the lucrative family business. The father's heart is devastated when the son decides to become a missionary after graduating with an engineering degree and a great rift is formed between them, one that does not heal until a terrible tragedy ensues.
