Hallmark Hall of Fame - Season 15 (1965)

Napoleon's last days of exile on the barren island of St. Helena.

Adaptation of the Broadway play by Lawrence and Lee. A young man, Bert Cates, is arrested in a small Bible Belt town for teaching the theory of Evolution in the public school. Two of the finest legal minds in the U.S. are called to the trial: Henry Drummond for the defense, and Matthew Harrison Brady for the prosecution. The trial proceeds on three levels, the guilt or innocence of Cates, the issue of the Bible vs. Darwin, and finally, the personal confrontation between Drummond and Brady.

Amahl, a crippled boy, and his poor mother are visited by the Three Wise Men, who stay the night, and are entertained by the villagers. During the night, Amahl's mother tries to steal their jewels, but is caught by the page. Amahl begs for her release, and is rewarded for his pains by being healed. He then leaves with the Three Wise Men.

""The 68th major production, and the 15th continuous Hallmark Hall of Fame season."" A depiction of Galileo's clash with the Catholic Church.
