When director Timothy Garry '81 began to call up actors in groups of four, Hail and his friend went in to audition together. Hail waited for what he and his friend later agreed was an unusually long time, as his friend read for several roles, including the male leads. When Garry finally called Hail to audition, Garry told him to read the role of Jo, the family butler; Garry listened, politely thanked him, and called for the next group of actors...
...then Archie C. Epps III, dean of students, who met with Hail before convening an informal meeting with the Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club (HRDC) and Glen W. Bowersock '57, associate dean of the Faculty for undergraduate education.

This is a film about love and families and the faith that keeps the lives of a group of peasants together. Prayer punctuates their daily lives like the motif in the Bach concerto underscores their joys and sorrows. A woman angrily exhorts the Lord to save the life of her cow; her prayer reprimands a God who would let the only cow of a widow with six children become ill. The Pater Noster becomes a magic spell chanted in Latin by the local healer, and always there are the endless "Ave Marias," with the accent heavily on the Ave, which...
