The dramatic highlight is Luther's "Here I stand" speech, straightforwardly directed by Irving Pichel (who also plays a supporting role). Filmed in West Germany, Martin Luther was a collaboration between Lutheran Productions Inc. and Louis de Rochemont associates. The film caused a minor brouhaha when its Chicago TV debut in 1956 was successfully blocked by the local Catholic Archdiocese. Hal Erickson, Rovi

Of the six Luther films, I am most familiar
with this one. The accurate portrayal of Luther and his times is achieved because the script was reviewed by several historians and scholars, most notably, the late Jaroslav Pelikan, of the University of Chicago and later of Yale.
The turbulent life of Luther and of the times of the early 16th century is graphic and the black and white film photography adds a rightful dramatic
quality to the plot.
The role of Katie Luther is rightfully explored in sub-text but it is readily apparent that she is a motivating force in Luther's life.
I encourage purchase of this film. Do not let the year of production trouble you.

Martin Luther
Martin Luther looked at the Bible and he disagreed with how the Catholic church was teaching, he saw they wanted to teach non turths from God's word. Over a number of years he founded the Lutherin chuch. This story tells a great tell of a great man.
