- A riveting WW II drama about the Nazi occupation of Rome
Even after all these years [since the movie was first released], I find The Scarlet and the Black a riveting watch. Based on the true life exploits of Monsignor O'Flaherty [compellingly portrayed by Gregory Peck], the story recounts the events that unfolded during the Nazi occupation of Rome, led by SS officer Herbert Kappler [a rather evil and calculated performance by Christopher Plummer].

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".

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. But what we must remember and not forget is the other reality of that Era. Instead of actively speaking out against Hitler and his Minions, the Catholic Church chose to be silent.
