A monumental conflict between 2 giants of the screen -- the monsignor who shows mercy (GIANT Gregory Peck)and the Nazi who shows NONE (GIANT Christopher Plummer) With a GREAT appearance by John Giulgud as Pope Pius XII
Quite entertaining if without genius. The socks scenes is worth anything Hollywood had thrown at us about WWII since then.
Great story, but very long and drawn out. Gregory Peck is always good. Obviously made for television. Decent supporting cast. Nice location setting. The score is overbearing and interferes with the story.
No recent reviews.
This movie is about a brave priest in World War II. He helps hide Jews and risks his life to do so. He even dresses up as a nun in his work and it was funny seeing that. If you are religious or enjoy these kind of movies, I recommend you to watch this.
