erie C. @Sonia999 Nov 15 Absolutely spectacular and very memorable film with a superb performance by the iconic Gregory Peck. Marvelous twist and turns with some riveting moral choices along the way leading to the ultimate one at the end of the film. I am a veteran film watcher (and award-winning filmmaker ) and after watching thousands it’s difficult for any film to make an impact on me… But this one did! Strongly recommend! See more 09/28/2024 Excellent Catholic movie See more Augustine J 04/01/2024 It's a good film. The shots of the Vatican are impressive. A well told story of an extraordinary man doing a rather extraordinary thing. It might be a little long, but that's all the more time to enjoy Ennio Morricone's good score. Gregory Peck gives a good performance despite this being a TV movie. I thought this movie was a good one. See more Jim J 09/18/2023 Hollywood blows Smoke up your Date. Of course we are all well aware of the Total lie this movie tries to Portray. The Catholic church hid Nazi money and Art and was in no way involved in protecting anyone. This is Catholic propaganda at its worst. See more 04/11/2020 VERY GOOD movie, "The Scarlet and the Black"(1983), that I FIRST saw this movie on my TV at 7:52am(CT) Monday April 06, 2020! (I wrote my comments here at 5:14pm(CT) Saturday April 11, 2020.) See more 08/10/2019 what started out as an afternoon filler film ended up becoming fairly reasonable. still meh, but could be worse.
