The Scarlet and the Black

The Scarlet and the Black (1983)
We remember Gregory Peck who was born in California on this day in 1916.  He died in 2003.

War is hell but "The Scarlet and the Black" is a different sort of World War II movie.  

The story is about Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty (Gregory Peck) who saved Allied POW's and airmen in Nazi-occupied Rome.  

His German rival is Colonel Herbert Kappler played by Christopher Plummer of "The Sound of Music" fame.

It's worth watching.  The story has an amazing ending but you need to watch it.  

P.S.  You can listen to my show (Canto Talk).  If you like our posts, please look for ”Donate” on the right column.
