- This biographical drama/documentary narrative written by Dr. Albert Schweitzer and spoken by Fredric March, traces the life of Dr. Schweitzer (with actors playing the characters), from his birth in France up to about the age of 30 when he makes the decision to go to French Equatorial Africa and build his jungle hospital. The latter half of the film encompasses a full day in the hospital-village following the 80s-plus Samaritan in his daily rounds.—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
- This film depicts the life of Albert Schweitzer -- doctor, theologian, author and musician -- who conducts humanitarian works in Africa. Growing up on the French-German border, the son of a Lutheran pastor, the sensitive Albert adopts a non-violence approach to life before the age of 10. He later studies theology and music and writes numerous books. At 30, he is affected by the health plight in Africa and studies medicine, leading to a missionary hospital and, in due course, the Nobel Prize.—Jwelch5742
