Martin Luther
Martin Luther is a 1953 film biography about the life and times of the greatest figure of the Protestant Reformation - Martin Luther.
The film tells the story of Martin Luther's efforts to reform the Catholic church, his excommunication, and
the developments that led to the Protestant Reformation. As it is noticed at the beginning of the film, this dramatization of
a decisive moment in human history is the result of careful research of facts and conditions in the 16th century as reported by
historians of many faiths.
Martin Luther is directed by Irving Pichel and stars Niall MacGinnis as Martin Luther, John Ruddock as
Vicar Johann von Staupitz, and Philip Leaver as Pope Leo X. The music is composed by Mark Lothar and performed by
the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra.
