An interesting Biblical for the wrong reasons. I viewed this film after a gap of 50 years or more. The script introduced a Prophet Jehoam (played by actor Eduard Franz), twice appearing in the film at crucial points. This character is never mentioned in the Bible or in the Book of Ruth. How is it that no one has questioned this fictional addition, which will be accepted by many, who are unfamiliar with the Bible, as a true Biblical figure? I read 32 user reviews on this site and the goofs section for this film on IMDb before writing this mini review.
That apart, Viveca Lindfors, as the Moab temple priestess, caught my eye. So did Peggy Wood, who plays the venerable Naomi.
