故事发生在拥有着深厚历史的圣多明尼教堂之中，天堂在这里执掌的，天堂是名为基斯（巴里·菲茨杰拉德 Barry Fitzgerald 饰）的神父，基斯在这个职位上已经度过了四十五年的时光了。基斯年岁已高，思想早已经渐渐跟不上潮流，前来听他布道的信徒们越来越少，教堂很快就陷入了入不敷出的危机之中。就在这个节骨眼上，一位名叫欧曼尼（平·克劳斯贝 Bing Crosby 饰）的年轻神父被教会派来此地协助基斯。对于这个活泼风趣的年轻人，固执老成的基斯当然是看着一百个不顺眼，然而，欧曼尼依旧我行我素，用他温暖随和的风格，让每一个人如沐春风。随着时间的推移，欧曼尼在潜移默化之中改变了基斯的想法，并且帮助教堂筹得了重建资金，拯救了这座古老的圣坛。

回复 :前东德最好的一部超现实主义幻想剧！this is one of the most amazing looking,surreal films of all time and i only recently acquired it on video.it was just as good after fond childhood memories of it.highly recommended,with great special effects,and stunning set design,and vivid colour and cinematography.buy with confidence!This is as you remember watching it as a child. Lifelike, overtly coloured and full of magical splendor, terrifying nasties and surreal characters. In short, do not shy away from this opportunity to show a "Christmas Special" to your children in favour of the usual fare from Disney and co. Rather, pop a fresh batch of pop corn, get first dibs on the comfy chair and opt for what was arguably one of the highlights of East German children's programming.
回复 :号称是美国七十年代最非著名的一部科幻电影杰作，导演索尔·巴斯是设计师，还曾两次获过奥斯卡奖，但不知为何这部经典的心理科幻片至今都没出DVD。Desert ants suddenly form a collective intelligence and begin to wage war on the desert inhabitants. It is up to two scientists and a stray girl they rescue from the ants to destroy them. But the ants have other ideas.Phase IV is an incredible full length feature film by Saul Bass who is most acclaimed as a graphic designer who's work can be seen as the opening credits from The Seven Year Itch, Vertigo, West Side Story to Alien, Broadcast News and Casino. Phase IV is a much overlooked film that is very much in the style of The Andromeda Strain. What it perhaps lacks in story, it gains in the photography of the millions of ants.索尔·巴斯，美国动画片绘制家、美工师、导演，1920年5月8日生于纽约市，少年时曾经在布鲁克林学院学习绘画，毕业后从事过十年自由职业设计师的职业，1946年在洛杉矶创立索尔·巴斯合作公司。他在为一些影片进行美术设计时，猜出心裁地为片头片尾的演职人员表配上生动活泼的动画人物，这些动画人物的形态动作巧妙地提示了影片的主题，反映了影片的基调，从而使单调乏味的演职人员表和谐地成为了影片不可或缺的一部分，这种大胆的创新丰富了电影的表现形式，广受观众们的喜爱，其后为不少国家的影片所沿用。索尔·巴斯设计片头片尾的影片以《卡门·琼斯》(1955)、《红衣主教》(1963)等片最为著名。此外，他还监制和导演了很多电视广告片、动画片片和纪录片，如《敏锐的眼光》(1963)、《第四相》(1974)等。
