Comment/Synopsis

Gregory Peck is a priest in Rome during World War 2 who is helping allied soldiers escape whilst Christopher Plummer is the German Gestapo officer who is trying to stop him. This film, based on a true story has good performances from Gregory Peck and Christopher Plummer but the staid production detracts from what should be an inspiring story. The music was by Ennio Morricone.
