Of Human Hearts
This is a story about family relationships, set in the time before and during the American Civil War. Ethan Wilkins is a poor and honest man who ministers to the human soul, while his son Jason yearns to be a doctor, helping people in the earthly realm. It is a rich story about striving for excellence, the tension of father-son rebellion, and the love of a mother that can never die.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Of Human Hearts has mixed reviews with a rating of 5.8/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.
Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.
A classic from 1938. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
