After Christ's death on the Cross, some of his Apostles begin to doubt he was the one true Messiah. Unshaken in his faith, Peter, first of the ApostIes, journeys to Jesus's tomb to discover that the greatest miracle of aII has occurredthe Resurrection of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
FamiIy Theatre began as a radio show on the MutuaI Broadcasting System in 1947. lts host, Father Patrick Peyton, was founder of the FamiIy Rosary Crusade, a popuIar post-WorId War Il prayer movement. Despite having no sponsor, Peyton was able to get many of HolIywood's biggest stars to appear on the program, including James Stewart, LuciIle BaII, Henry Fonda, Robert Mitchum, and Gregory Peck. This was aIso true of the teIevision version, which started airing in syndication in 1951 while the radio series was stiII running (one show, ""HiIl Number One"", even featured a young James Dean.) This speciaI Easter episode, ""The Triumphant Hour"", stars a pre-Perry Mason Raymond Burr as St. Peter. Jesus Christ is pIayed by BasiI Tellou, a poet and character actor from Pasadena who Iater renounced his acting career. In 1988, he unsuccessfully staged a write-in campaign for President of the United States (according to the Los Angeles Times, his plans incIuded ""neutralizing the feminist movement,"" ""the construction of eIaborate space cities"" and ""eIiminating smog, crime and rock 'n' roII."") Jeanne Bates, who pIays Mary Magdalene, had been in the Columbia serial The Phantom (1943), as the superhero's girlfriend Diana Palmer. Years later, she became a favorite of cult director David Lynch, playing ""Mrs. X"" in Eraserhead (1977) and appearing in his Oscar-nominated MuIholIand Drive (2001). Uniquely, this episode of Family Theatre reguIarly cuts to Easter Mass services in progress at a HoIlywood church, where the congregation is led by Don Ameche. Attendees incIude Roddy McDowall, Ann BIyth, Jerry Colonna, Jane Wyatt, and James Gleason. Father Peyton appears at the end of the program to remind viewers of his motto, ""The famiIy that prays together, stays together."" Family Theatre continued to air on teIevision and radio until 1957. Afterwards, Father Peyton become heaviIy invoIved in the CIA's efforts to combat the spread of communism in Latin America. He died in 1992 at the age of 83, still active in the Crusade. |
