“This film has been made part of the Vatican’s film collection, thus receiving the Church’s unofficial endorsement.” No doubt that was due in part to the powerful portrayal of a Roman priest, Don Pietro, by Aldo Fabrizi. The film culminates with his execution by the Nazis in full view of the boys of his parish church.
