WORLD WIDE PICTURES
 
 
World Wide Pictures  (WWP) is a film distributor and production company established as a subsidiary of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) in 1951.  It is involved in the production and distribution of evangelistic films, the production of Graham crusade films, and publicity for Graham crusades.  Perhaps WWP's best-known production was the 1965 film The Restless Ones, featuring Kim Darby.  It was the first theatrical movie.  Other major feature films included Two a Penny (1965), which starred Cliff Richard.  Both The Hiding Place (1975) (with Julie Harris) and Time to Run (1973) received Golden Globe nominations for Most Promising Newcomer.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

Cliff Richard became actively Christian in 1964 and managed to balance his faith and his career, singing both secular and religious music.  He appeared at several Billy Graham Crusades and played a young man involved in selling drugs in a 1967 film called Two a Penny that was released by Billy Graham's World Wide Pictures.  A soundtrack album called Two a Penny was also released.
