An apparent co-production of the Lutheran and Presbyterian Churches!

"All That I Have" is a production of Family Films, a company financed by the Lutheran and Presbyterian churches in the USA back in 1951. Despite being a religious film, the movie has a surprising number of relatively famous actors in it. Although a bit preachy, it is well made and compelling.

The story is about a doctor (Housely Stephenson) who is on trial to determine his mental competence. You learn through the course of the trial that he's been giving away his money to many people and he is either insane or actually following the teachings of Christ.

The film is overtly religious and includes a small sermonette in it...and I think the story would have been stronger without that little sermon. Overall, the sort of film that might be nice to show a Sunday School class but probably not exactly something the average person would want to watch.

The time scale for the film appears to be a little awry, as the character of Louie Lumpkin says it was just two months earlier that Dr Grayson gave him the $50 but the intervening events (including preparing the court case) would surely have taken a good deal longer.
