Rating: - Masterful Rendition
The interplay between Gregory Peck ("The Scarlet" -Msgr. O'Flaherty) and Christopher
Plummer ("The Black" -Nazi Commandant of Rome) is as complex as it is artfully
played. They are both protagonist and antagonist with each other shining through in
this true-to-life story. Since purchasing this DVD from Amazon, I have watched it
several times enjoying it fully each time. Both actors are masterful in their parts as
they portray this incredible interaction between "good and evil".
Rating: - No more soft soap please
I will say honestly and up front, I have little love lost for the Church. It has lied, obfuscated and just plain obstructed justice for decades of child abuse, enslavement in the Magdalene Launderies occurring to the late 20th Century. While,including the character portrayed herein, there were many good men/women who helped, it does not cover the stain of the crimes committed by the Church. Also, it doesn't cover the crimes continuing to be committed.
This movie is one of several that have been made showing the good side of the Vatican and its' represetatives. It is based on historical data. ... Read More
Rating: - Very well made movie...worth watching for all
This is a great story...especially since it is a true story. Gregory Peck does a great job and is fascinating to watch. But the real draw is the true to life story.
Rating: - Forgotten classic
This is a fantastic movie that has been much overlooked. For all of you Holocaust survival movies lovers this is in my top 10.
Gregory Peck is perfect for the role of the father. He did what was right at all costs.
Lots of cliff hanging moments and the end will amaze you at the power of forgiveness.
