This is a play with distinctly topical echoes. Its theme has to do with the human conscience, with honesty in its various aspects, practical and intellectual. The battleground in this instance is the soul of Sir Robert Bristow. He is Attorney-General in a British Government, a man of mind and strong character. His father, a hard-bitten Yorkshire business-man, put him through school and university, then left him to make his way at law. This he did brilliantly, marrying a decorative socialite hostess on the way. Now, on the eve of promotion to Cabinet rank, his success would seem assured.
But in fact his position, both political and personal, is far from invulnerable, so that when a scandal threatens, which seems to tie together the various threads of his discontent, Sir Robert needs all has strength of character to cope, for the issue is corruption (Peter Forster)

In the four gospels there are many references to the home and the family, and our understanding of the words of Jesus is greatly helped by a knowledge of what family conditions were like at that time.
This film portrays as accurately as possible family life two thousand years ago.
