During the swell of Nazi Germany, the Christian ten Boom family struggle to make safe all who seek sanctuary in their home. They hire a sympathetic builder to create a hiding place in one of their rooms for when the Gestapo are near. A sympathetic German officer benevolently tries to warn the ten Booms that their hiding place is becoming well known and warns them to be extra careful as to whom they trust. What happens next focuses on the ten Boom sisters, Corrie and Betsie, and how they survive the harsh realities that face them and test their faith in God and Jesus. This was Jennette Clift's only movie role and what a role it is, as the main focus of the story, Corrie ten Boom.

A Test of Faith
Worth Watching
Great story and well produced considering it was 46 years ago.
Would like to see a remake without the comedic bits and a little more realistic. In particular the concentration camp scenes. They all looked well fed . . . .just a little bit more grit would be good.
After 40 years, it still sticks with me, in a bad way
I wanted so much to like the movie. It has never played on TV because of it's pro-Christian message (had it played, I could have edited out a very bad scene -see below). Basically, it is a true story of Christians who hide Jews. What made this a powerful movie is that the Christians here are two middle-aged sisters, both condemned to a concentration camp. But, after 40 years, the only scene I clearly recall is when a German soldier rapes a female prisoner, both standing, covered up by his long winter wool coat, but the back and forth motion is vividly visible. Why this scene? The makers were told they had to make their movie PG, in order to sell, per an article that I also recall reading back then. Had the rape scene been omitted, I would have given this a 10/10, but as is, I cannot recommend it.
