One Man's Way is a 1963 American drama film directed by Denis Sanders and written by John W. Bloch and Eleanore Griffin. The film stars Don Murray as the preacher and author Norman Vincent Peale. The cast also includes Diana Hyland, William Windom, Virginia Christine, Carol Ohmart and Veronica Cartwright.[1]
The film was released on December 23, 1963, by United Artists.
As a young man, Norman Vincent Peale is working in Detroit as a crime reporter for a newspaper. Saddened by the tragedies he witnesses or writes about, Peale enters a seminary. He moves to New York City, becoming a minister and writing a best-selling book, The Power of Positive Thinking, that also becomes controversial. After a considerable amount of soul-searching that leads him to the brink of leaving his vocation, Peale decides to continue with his work.
In the New York Times, film critic Howard Thompson wrote, "As a biographical tribute to one of America's best-known Protestant clergymen, the picture is thoughtful and genteel," adding that it is "a worthy movie" that "sustains an unpretentious tone from start to finish."[2]
