This is one of my favorite films , I watch it several times a year . It is a great story , very timely , loaded with great talent . The drive through Rome is stunning everytime . The depiction of Conclave is fantastic , not sure how accurate it is . David Jassen's report at the death of the Pope is just great . Actually it is how the novel opens . I am on a rant but just wanted to share with anyone interested what a great film this is .

😎😎😎 As a child, I saw this movie in Boston with my mom and dad...back in 1968.

Great Mexican actor Anthony Quinn 🇲🇽🇲🇽👏

[@Sydroo1969]

And Irish

[@TheMarcio2014]

Great movie.

[@DennisBetts1]

This was Quinn's finest performance, and typically it was ignored in favour of the clodhopping Zorba the Greek.

[@walterkoblinger5956]

DennisBetts1 Iiiiii

[@trajan75]

I would favor his performance in Fellini's "La Strada".

[@yp3424]

I believe,the "revolutionary" roles matched him perfectly, mostly because of his mexican-irish origins. Above all he was a professional. His temperament was ideal to play characters like Zorba the Greek, Awda Abu Tayi, Eufemio Zapata or Omar Mukhtar, while his physical appearance helped him to be more convincing and very popular to the audiences. Anyway, it isn't too much to say that, the Greek Tourism organisation owes him a great deal, because with "Zorba" and the "Guns of Navarone" promoted the Ægean islands as a standard tourist destination.

[@Suey4249]

@@yp3424 I really liked him in The Visit, a great little underrated movie. Showed him in a more subdued role and his versatility. Another was The Oxbow Incident, a fine old movie. He did some really good westerns also, but my favourite is The Secret of San Sebastian but I guess he is Zorba again nevertheless brilliant and funny and a must watch to the very last line.

[@sarahwang5822]

Can't help but make a parallel with John Paul II. A curious premonition movie...

[@SuperGreatSphinx]

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

[@ADAMSIXTIES]

I remember this one. It's got great actors, subject, and era! The trailer says, "the first Russian Pope", but he's Ukrainian. I guess those who wrote the trailer script didn't know the difference.

[@mathbau]

Back then the term Russia was used interchangeably with USSR - and since the Ukraine was part of the... I think you get the gist.

[@virtualawrence]

Today it’s an important distinction

[@DoubleDogDare54]

In '68 Ukraine was part of the USSR. If you lived in a province of the USSR, you were Russian. It would be the same as someone who lives in Texas. They may be called a Texan, but they are first and foremost an American.

[@josephblake4135]

Clarification is WELCOMED.

[@leonidashristou9111]

Generally till 1990s nobody knew the difference, especially historians...neither did global history! There were the RUS, then the Golden Horde and Poilsh, then Russian Empire, then the USSR! Ukraine as its name states У-крайна is a geographical definition and not a national one! So if some people near the polish borders feel as a new nation they can sure claim that but not for the whole territory of the post soviet republic!

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

This movie missed re-release for both its 50TH and 55TH Anniversaries. 2028 will be the 60TH Anniversary of the movie, and it too deserves to be on theatre screens for it.

[@chloecrypto7947]

Every film that follows this one that depicts the election of the Pope draws from it: it's authoritative and depicts the magnificence of one of the oldest and greatest of human institutions. Quinn does the role as few could: he depicts the gravitas _and_the_suffering_ intrinsic to the position. This is a master class in a linchpin of Western civilization, and produces audiences who leave wiping tears and smiling. Magnificent.

[@JohnMinehan-lx9ts]

Quinn, unusual for a man of Mexican and Irish heritage, was not a Catholic, he came from an Evangelical Protestant background and had worked for Aimee Semple MacPherson as a musician and lay preacher. However, he brought a sense of what a Catholic Bishop should be to the role. His character's election was also unusual in that he came from the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, a church of the Byzantine Rite in communion with Rome. Despite the attention paid to the election of a Pope (and what follows the death of one) this point was not emphasized. It might have been good to point out Kyril struggling with the Latin, since it is not used in the Liturgy in that Rite of the Church (even before Vatican II) and he had been in a Russian Gulag for 20 years and was probably not on the distro list for Vatican correspondence (which is still in that language)..

[@RostykMakushak]

This film is based on a story of one real person - a Ukrainian Catholic Archbishop Josyf Slipyi. Ukrainian Catholic church was persecuted in USSR and many of priests and bishops were murdered by Russian Communists or sentenced to die in Siberian labour camps. But Josyf Slipyj was let go by Soviets. Archbishop Slipyj couldn't return to Ukraine so he went straight to Rome. As a Catholic cardinal theoretically he could have been elected as a Pope. • In this film a fictional Ukrainian Archbishop Kiril Lakota (Anthony Quinn) is set free after two decades as a political prisoner in Siberia. He is brought to Rome by Fr. David Telemond (Oscar Werner), a troubled young priest who befriends him. Once at the Vatican, he is immediately given an audience with the Pope (John Gielgud), who elevates him to Cardinal Priest. The world is on the brink of war due to a Chinese-Soviet feud made worse by a famine caused by trade restrictions brought against China by the U.S. When the Pontiff suddenly dies, Lakota's genuine character and unique life experience move the College of Cardinals to elect him as the new Pope.

[@jesseredwards]

Thanks for the background.

[@junesilvermanb2979]

An Eastern Catholic Pope would be a blessing... ❤️

One was enough for one century.

This trailer reminds me the North Korea is being starved [2013], perhaps, into a nuclear war. North Korea cannot feed its people, so the new leader is developing their nuclear capabilities.

[@trajan75]

No North Korea is deliberately starving its people to develop its military. It is playing a very dangerous game. It is the man with a single shot shot gun. As long as he does not fire the weapon he has power. Once he fires it he will kill some one, but lose his power.

Serait-il possible de dowloader ce film en français SVP. Merci

[@y2k4ed]

Look at China today. It’s difficult to believe that this money situation could happen. Maybe we will some day look to China for food?

[@JohnMinehan-lx9ts]

It might have been better for the film to meet Kiril Lakota as a political prisoner first.

[@lisalasoya2898]

Basically, this movie is historic value, a tragedy but a religious & political façade. Underneath, the election of the new pope, the clergies voted a Russian criminal pope, Le Conte as predecessor. In fact, using the whispering method one attendee is saying "he is just temporary." While, in Rome, a vast amount of Catholics are present for the crowning, one yells "we're going to take your country."- akin to the Medici family during the Renaissance. The new pope had been a political voice over over population a civil liberties crime that redeemed him when it became his people legacy. The duties of the new pope is to offer the Eucharist to begin a new life with God Himself and leave any wrongdoing behind. Instead, tragedy....Sunflora, Inc. v. Nat. Sols., LLC, 2022 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 79163, 2022 WL 1407963 & In re Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001, 2023 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 42897, 2023 WL 2969472

[@Goatvillekid]

Beautifully produced with some interesting views of the Vatican and its procedures - but - with some exceptions, the casting is terrible (especially the Chinese premier, played by someone better suited to a waiter in a Chinese restaurant) - and the plot is beyond the far reaches of ridiculous. The Catholic Church is to divest all its properties and treasures to feed the Chinese masses?! For how long? A day? 😂

[@Visibleoblivion7812]

No way was that really part of the plot to the movie??!! Selling all its priceless art to feed hungry Chinese???

[@The1976spirit]

Well prepared propaganda for Pope John Paul II, indeed. To suggest the Warsaw Pakt`s candidate comes from orthodox Russia is a little bit too clumsy, isn´it?

[@balin1920]

The movie came out 6 years before the election of Pope Saint John Paul II . Also he comes from Lvov a region of Ukraine that is predominantly Catholic .
