Originally released in 1960, this Biblical epic is the Old Testament story of the pagan idolater Ruth (Elana Eden), who married Mahlon (Tom Tryon), son of Naomi (Peggy Wood). When the family leaves Moab to return to Bethlehem, Mahlon dies, and Ruth's new faith is severely tested. With the help of her mother-in-law, her faith is ultimately strengthened and deepened, and in time she finds a new life (and new love) with Boaz (Stuart Whitman).
