Mild satire on corporate greed versus small town mores and morals has Peter Sellers nicely cast as a prison cleric who becomes the divine pawn in a clerical error: he is summoned to take over a neighborhood parish by mistake. This new vicar's 'radical' ideas in beginning a Good Will policy seem destructive to the Christian hypocrites in the slowly-progressing town...and once his actions take a toll on Big Business, the immoral majority turns against him. Sellers worked this small (but no less ambitious) British comedy into his schedule sometime between "Lolita" and "Dr. Strangelove"; it isn't the monumental comic performance one might expect, however the then-rising star is nevertheless congenial and appealing (albeit in a low key). Producer-director sibling team John and Roy Boulting have some light fun skewering the rich and soulless, but perhaps their final act takes the film's title too literally! ** from ****
