The Scarlet & the Black Movie Review 1983

A priest clandestinely works within the shield of the Vatican's diplomatic immunity to shelter allied soldiers from the Nazis in occupied Rome. His efforts put him at odds with the Pope and target him for Gestapo assassination. Swashbuckling adventure at its second-best. Based on the nonfiction book "The Scarlet Pimpernel of the Vatican" by J.P. Gallagher.
