Although the original events depicted in this classic from
the drug infested, gang dominated streets happened over
thirty years ago, the life-changing solution that David
Wilkerson brought to desperate lives was just beginning.
The beat goes on. The change in the life of notorious gang
leader Nicky Cruz, as shown in the film, proved to be
wonderfully lasting and real. Nicky continues today to
reach young people around the world with the same
life-changing message of the gospel of Jesus Christ that
delivered him from violence and despair. And what about the
skinny preacher, David Wilkerson, who braved the meanest
streets of New York to tell desperate and drug crazed youth
that there was a better way? Now, three decades later, he
is still at it with a ministry based in Times Square that
is still changing lives and offering genuine hope to
countless souls who had given up on life.
Now in over 25 languages, The Cross and the Switchblade,
starring Pat Boone and Eric Estrada, is one of those rare
films that has shown its unique power to connect with the
deepest hopes and fears of youth around the world. It
remains today one of the most compelling stories of love,
grace and the truth that no one is ever so far gone that
they cannot find the way out.

Book Review-July 2003
The Cross and the
Switchblade is the special anniversary edition DVD, which
was digitally restored from the original 35 mm negative.
This is the now classic story of how the life-changing
message of Jesus Christ gave a gang leader the inspiration
and opportunity to transform his violent life into
something better. Reaching out to the hopes and fears of
young folks everywhere, The Cross and The Switchblade is
dramatic, vivid, and very highly recommended viewing. This
105minutes, fully color DVD production is enhanced with
extra features including 8 language tracks, English
sub-titles, commentary by writer/director Don Murray and
associate producer Dr. A Kenneth Curtis, actor biographies,
and more. |
