Alright so imagine this; big old boardroom full movie executives and all these executives are me. One executive says to the other "we should make a movie!
The other executive says "yes that be a great idea" what should it be about? Why not the Pope! proclaims one executive.
'Brilliant idea' says another person, maybe we should throw in some Cold War Antics while we're at it and the set designer look like something out of a good James Bond movie.
We make a beautiful looking movie for less than 10 million dollars? Oh you're damn right we can. Well what are we waiting for? Create the greatest movie in the world.
Anthony Quinn plays the character of Kiril Lakota a religious persecuted prisoner of the Soviet Union, given leave from his sentence to strike a Diplomatic relationships with the Vatican.
He's also to help with a desperate diplomatic situation involving the Peoples Republic of China. Faceing a mass famine and on the verge of an all-out War with the Soviet Union, United States and the invasion into the indochinese lands.
Upon becoming Pope he is forced to deal directly with the situation and attempt to bring peace between the mass of world powers specifically with China and the Soviet Union. oddy enough you don't see any American representation in the entire movie.
In truth majority the movies actually about Pope Kiril personal reaction to the roll and how he is to deal with everything. There's also two other subplots, one involving a priest of who suffers with kind of medical trauma and believes more in the realm of Science then the dogmas of the Catholic Church and the secondary plot involving a news anchor and his wife and a bad affair between them. In truth the news anchor story could be cut out of the movie and you would lose little to nothing.
I suppose I should talk about the prediction of the future shouldn't I? A non-italian Pope from Eastern Europe who brings about peaceful serenity throughout the world.
A reference to Pope John Paul II who took years 10 years after this movie came out.
kind of amusing isn't it.
