...Shoes of a Fisherman? It was done in the late 60s and starred Anthony Quinn as a humble Russian priest who becomes Pope as kind of a compromise candidate. In that movie, he dressed as an ordinary priest and sometimes wandered the streets of Rome at night just to get a glimpse of what the common man was up to. It is 1 of the best movies I've ever seen and I'm surprised its not mentioned among the all-time greats. Just an opinion tho.

Thx for giving us info on that book Neysa. It sounds really good. Take care, God Bless,

I don't remember the movie with Anthony Quinn. But, there was a movie with Gregory Peck. He plays an Irish priest who works in the Vatican during the Nazi occupation of Rome during WWII. In order to leave the Vatican and enter Rome which was guarded by the Nazi's he would dress up in different outfits. Chritopher Plummer is also in this movie he plays a high ranking Nazi officer who is in charge of Rome. I cannot remember the name of the movie but it was very good.
