The Scarlet and the Black
Gregory Peck stars as the man who led thousands in a daring escape to freedom - right under the nose of the Gestapo.
A historical drama about moral courage and faith, following a Vatican priest's dangerous mission to save lives under Nazi occupation.
Fr. Hugh O'Flaherty is a Vatican official in 1943-45 who has been hiding downed pilots, escaped prisoners of war, and Italian resistance families. His activities become so large that the Nazis decide to assassinate him the next time he leaves the Vatican.
