biographical film on the personal and political life of Calvin Coolidge:
| Quite
simply, the finest documentary I've ever seen. |

An
absorbingly interesting and much needed revaluation of a much
underrated president.

“Things
of the Spirit” provides an amazing and moving story
of Presidential character, strength and achievement... an
important, poignant and truly American story nearly lost to
us forever — but now with care, skill and thoroughness,
it has been resurrected.

You have
made me a believer in Calvin Coolidge. I think you may be
personally responsible for changing the public perception
of Coolidge.

Great
stuff – and that comes from a man who has looked at hundreds,
if not thousands, of hours of documentary effort. John Karol
is a particularly talented and competent filmmaker.

Extraordinary
film and history making... Calvin Coolidge is probably one
of the most misunderstood figures in the history of American
politics... It gives us a special look at the 1920s in a way
that helps to counteract the almost cartoon-like quality of
much of the reporting of the history of that decade... "Things
of the Spirit" is an important historical happening.

Governor of Massachusetts and Democratic nominee for President
of the United States |
"Things
of the Spirit" is a revelation. It transforms gripping
history into an inspiring work of art... See it. You'll never
think the same way about Calvin Coolidge again.
