Customer Reviews of The Scarlet and the Black
Great movie I love to read books and watch movies about War. That sounds weird to some. But here is why I like them. Sure it shows man at his worst but it also show some at their best. This is one that depicts both. It's a wonderful story with great actors. I thought allot for Gregory Peck. I don't know if they were true to the actual events but in any case I highly recommend this DVD. If your Catholic it's a must see.
A fine film about even more astonishing history.
Fr. O'Flaherty's activities in World War II Rome, helping Italian Jews and escaped Allied POW's was very much real, motivated by a sense of human decency. But the movie goes beyond the stereotype of heroes resisting and evading evil Nazis--when the tide of war turns and the Nazis are on the run, the SS intelligence chief, Col. Kappler turns to Father O'Flaherty for help! (This did in fact happen in reality--Fr. O'Flaherty routinely visited Col. Kappler when he was imprisoned and the SS colonel eventually became a devout Catholic, thanks in part to Fr. O'Flaherty's influence.) The message of the movie, about forgiveness and redemption, as well as altruism and courage, is highly relevant in this day and age that demands absolute heroes and absolute villains.
The gestapo is outsmarted!
This is an excellent film about a priest who out-witted the gestapo and its army in Italy by smuggling and taking in the allies who looked for refuge at the Vatican. Both Peck and Plummer give good performances and the movie keeps you on edge. I enjoy the fact that this is a true story. A movie the whole family can enjoy.
