The Staircase is real a powerful symbol of hope, faith and wonder with the miraculous building of the church staircase. Barbara Hershey and William L. Petersen shine bright in this where they both play much different roles than their norm. A must watch, especially for the non-believers!

UPLIFTING AND TOUCHING
Michael Butts | Martinsburg, WV USA | 09/21/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Based on a true story, THE STAIRCASE is one of those uplifting Christian movies heavy on morals and faith, and thanks to an intelligent script and very good performances, it works.
Barbara Hershey gives a smooth and touching performance as Mother Madeleine, a dying nun who wants to see the completion of a chapel in the Santa Fe territory before she dies. This seems impossible when the architect "forgets" to put in a staircase to the choir loft. Without the funds necessary to complete the staircase, that dream seems unlikely...until a mysterious stranger named Mr. Joad shows up out of nowhere and offers to build a spiral staircase with no charge. CSI's William Petersen gives a strong understated performance as Joad, whose mission becomes both a blessing and a curse as the original contractors (David Clennon and Justin Louis) don't want Joad to do the staircase. It may all play out with predictable results but it's sincerity is so genuine, it's a fine little film."

"I remember hearing about this staircase when I was a teenager. A staircase built without using nails. It really moved me to tears, but not really sad tears. Barbara Hershey and William Petersen give an excellent performance in this movie. The movie left me believing in miracles and the strength of the human spirit. A carpenters work of art..............."

"This movie would be good for everyone to see.It was about a spiral staircase which was built by a stranger.There were no nails used and the type of wood was a pine that only grows in about 10 locations on the Northern continent.The construction of the staircase was that of a helix design.This means the steps revolved around and around a single core (helix)which also was springy vertical depending on how much weight was on the staircase.The staircase was completed many years ago in Santa Fe, New Mexico and still stands today,and maybe visited.A real good movie."
