Ashley H Count Three and Pray is an okay film. It is about a pastor with a shady past who moves into a rural town just after the Civil War. Van Heflin and Joanne Woodward give decent performances. The script is a little slow in places. George Sherman did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review Keith E Not spectacular but still a solid movie on human relationships showing things never change..people are people...
