Ok, maybe not a full 5, cause its not a perfect movie..but there is such a 'WoW'
factor here because of all these great actors/actresses giving their fullest for
this movie, some of them i really taught they were part of the Vatican...such
great acting is included in this wonderfull film. Anthony Quinn captured his
role dead on and brought tears in my eyes as the film proceeded. For a film
done so many years ago, it still holds and still demands attention.
Im glad after so many years i see this film again...and this time, its in my DVD
collection for future viewing. A Keeper.

This is an excellent film. It is a little long but worth watching. It is well acted with some excellent actors and plots and subplots.
It is about Faith, Love, and Hope for the future along with one man's struggle from nothing into the modern world and finding his faith relevant. Although their are several subplots they all converge on the the central theme of Faith or Faith recovered, Love, Hope, and Hope for the future. Excellent movie

This is a great, great film, if you're Catholic or not, it doesn't matter, you will be held spellbound by the process by which a new pope is selected and that, like we all would want, a great and humble man becomes pontiff. Great stuff. I'd recently finished a few months working in Rome so this was a welcome nostalgia blitz. If that makes any sense!

Although some of this film is quite dated. It still is quite an enteraining work of fiction that on many levels is an MGM Classic.
Many folks think this film was prophetic in a few ways. Anthony Quinn as usual delivers a brilliant performace, The rest of the cast including
Sir Laurence Olivier, Sir John Gielgud, and Leo McKern of the "Rumpole of the Bailey" fame all shine in their parts. It is a little wierd to hear
Laurence Olivier trying to sound like a Russian Preimer, but he pulls it
off. I have to guess that many reviewer have not read the book that this
movie is based on. George Faber the journalist is just as much a part of the story as anyone else in this story, and David Janssen makes his role
believeable. Oskar Werner's Father Telemond is almost as interesting as
Anthony Quinn's Pope Kiril I. It makes the viewer wonder about many things
Faith is debated and some of the most important questions of the Christian Life are examined especailly the questions of putting the Church's power to use its resources to help prevent famine and to save the world from a nuclear nightmare. These are the things that make the movie and its story timeless.

Great story about searching for one's personal faith and connection to God in a vastly difficult world. Great lesson on graciously remaining strong in your faith, while still respecting others' faiths and beliefs, and learning how to work together to help others in need.
