In World War II Rome, Catholic priest Monsignor O'Flaherty (Gregory Peck) hides POWs and airmen who are shot down. He has been so successful that the Nazis assign Col. Kappler to stop him. The cat and mouse game is on as O'Flaherty uses all means to keep from being caught while still continuing his work. A good made-for-TV effort that is based on a true story. 1 User Review
