The Keys of the Kingdom

Father Francis Chisholm (Gregory Peck), a young priest, is sent to China to establish a Catholic parish among non-Christian Chinese, facing hostility, isolation, disease, poverty, and set backs that humble him but make him more determined than ever to succeed. He encounters his childhood friend and fellow priest, Anselm "Angus" Mealey (Vincent Price), who flourishes in his calling as a priest in another part of the world.
