Luther (2003)

           This film, directed by Eric Till, should not be confused with the 1973 film of the same title and starring Stacy Keach as Luther.  Both are based upon the play by John Osborne.  Like its predecessor, the 2003 film received modest reviews, but given Martin Luther’s (1483–1546) importance as the father of the Protestant Reformation, perhaps historical importance rather than cinematic success will earn this film some kudos at least among believers.
