And now...for the exciting conclusion. I love the church revival scene in this part. It's kinda creepy, and it beautifully shows Zeke's fall back into temptation. Not bad for 1929, King Vidor was a skilled director. Ol' Zeke just couldn't stay away from Chick, even though she got him into trouble every time.
Part three moves into Zeke's life with Chick after he leaves his congregation for her (another bad decision). And finally, a chase scene, a confrontation, and a conclusion (although a pretty predictable one). In true old school fashion, there's no glorification of violence or sin here. Just a nice musical and morality tale (think the prodigal son). But overall, I'd have to say that "Hallelejah!" is another old school classic. And a real first of its kind. Hope y'all dig it too. Peace.
