Im Wendekreis des Kreuzes (TV Movie 1983)

Im Wendekreis des Kreuzes: Directed by Jerry London. With Gregory Peck, Christopher Plummer, John Gielgud, Raf Vallone. Vatican efforts, led by Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty, to save Allied P.O.W.s and downed Allied airmen as the Nazis invade Rome.

“Based on a true story set during World War II in Rome, this made for television movie stars Gregory Peck in yet another fine role,(as if he could ever do a bad one.)The supporting cast is also amazing with fine performances from Christopher Plummer and Sir John Gielgud, with Raf Valone, Vernon Dobchef and Walter Gotell among others. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is a fast paced history/war/drama/thriller in the mold of such films as u0026quot;The Third Man,u0026quot; and u0026quot;The Thirty Nine Steps.u0026quot; The frenetic musical score of Ennio Morricone (The Good, The Bad and The Ugly) helps to keep the pace on the edge of you seat. This is simply some fine film making at its very best, and I highly recommend it, if you have not already had a chance to see it. Just a beautiful film.”
