The Scarlet and the Black tells the true story of a Holy Office notary who, during Nazi occupation of Rome, covertly ran an underground railroad for Jews, anti-Fascists, and escaped Allied POWs.This WWII drama stars Gregory Peck as Msgr. Hugh O’Flaherty, a plain-speaking, straight-dealing Irish priest who boldly aids enemies of the Third Reich under the watchful eye of Christopher Plummer’s Nazi Lt. Col. Herbert Kappler.
A suspenseful and inspiring movie! There are a few inappropriate women fast forward scenes (thank you sisters!) and mild language. Not recommended for younger children. Some torture and Nazi Murder scenes. Catholicism was also highly praised.
I liked the surprise ending with the Nazi commander!
