Hand in Hand Clip 1

Two 7-year olds, Michael O'Malley and Rachel Mathias, are the best of friends. The fact that he is Roman Catholic and she is Jewish seems to matter more to their friends and family than to the two children. Rachel discovers one day that she must soon move away, so they become "blood brothers" so that they cannot be separated.

I think I remember this film. I remember a film about a boy and a girl where one was Jewish and the other was Christian. Somewhere towards the end the boy (I think) says "YOU KILLED JESUS!" or something like that. I was thinking it was color and the boy was blonde though.

Michael does accuse Rachel of killing Christ in this film (or rather, her people). This conversation is what leads the two to visit each other's place of worship.

That's where I saw this movie back in the 60's on Kukla, Fran and Ollie it was the Children's Film Festival. I thought it was intriguing and the children were marvelous. I loved other films on the festival too from all over the world.

Tonight is the first night of Passover. An appropriate time to watch this video, wouldn't you agree? Thank you so much for posting this sweet snippet. :-)

Happy Passover or Happy Easter to all who celebrate either holiday...and if you happen to follow another religion, then may you enjoy the very best of whatever blessings you honor. :-)
