Full Plot Details

John Flaherty is a young and ambitious American priest who arrives in the Papal sovereign city state of the Vatican in 1944 to take his holy orders as a Catholic priest. After distinguishing himself in combat in the World War II battlefields of northern Italy, he's assigned as the Vatican treasurer. With the Vatican strapped for money during the war, Flaherty soon makes illegal business deals with a corrupt U.S. Army sergeant named Varese, who deals goods on the local black market, which is connected to a ruthless Sicilian mobster named Don Appolini. Appolini agrees to fund Flaherty's operation for profit through his Swiss bank connections. Flaherty's mentor, Cardinal Santoni, the secretary to the elderly but powerful Pope, learns of Flaherty's business deals, but covers for Flaherty in order for them to rise in the ranks of the church against Santoni's rival, Cardinal Vinci. But Flaherty's double life as a black marketeer and priest takes a turn when he falls in love with a young French nun, named Clara, who knows of his dealings, but not of his true identity in the Catholic Church.

Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 3/10 by Roger EbertI do not object to the filmmaker's desire to make a film of overwhelming cynicism about the Vatican power structure. I simply object to the film they have made.
Variety - 0/10 by Variety StaffLots of potential for a rare, absorbing, behind-the-scenes look at the Vatican is totally blown.
Associated Press - 0/10 by Bob Thomas[A] mean-spirited film that might be considered sacrilegious were it not so ludicrous.
User Review - 10/10 by Alejandro SEste es un filme que ha sufrido duramente con la crítica, pero creo que es porque sin tapujos muestra una historia que no necesariamente es basada en hechos reales pero que es algo que perfectamente pudo haber sucedido. Christopher Reeve (Superman) interpreta aquí a un joven capellán de un escuadrón militar en medio de la Segunda Guerra Mundial que al tomar la decisión de disparar contra soldados Nazis que iban a masacrar a los soldados aliados heridos de su escuadrón, es trasladado al Vaticano para ocultarlo de la prensa y evitar que el Tercer Reich reconsidere la inmunidad que han ostentado hasta ese momento los capellanes en el campo de batalla. Una vez en el Vaticano, el personaje de Reeve pronto se da cuenta del juego de poderes que se juega en la sede de la fé católica en donde dos cardenales pugnan por ser el próximo papa, asímismo se da cuenta del problema de finanzas que sufre el Vaticano ya que aunque los Nazis no invaden dicho lugar, sí realizan bloqueos de las contribuciones de las iglesias del mundo. Reeve, que pronto queda bajo la protección de uno de los cardenales influyentes, le expone a éste una idea de utlizar los cigarrillos que siguen recibiendo para donar a los soldados, pero vendiéndoselos a la Mafia Italiana para que ellos los negocien en el mercado negro. La idea es exitosa y Reeve pronto asciende al grado de monseñor, pero medio de esto, tendrá una prueba de fé al conocer el amor en una joven novicia que ignora que él es parte del clero, y la traición de su mejor amigo, el soldado que lo conectó con la mafia, que malversa fondos de dichos negocios. No hagan caso de las malas críticas y si pueden vean este excelente filme. Altamente recomendada.
