JOHN XXIII
The Pope of
Peace
An inspiring feature
film on Blessed Pope John XXIII starring Edward
Asner in an acclaimed performance as the beloved pontiff who came from
common stock and was known for his simplicity, goodness, courage and
love for humanity. Shot on location in Rome and Italy, and produced by
the Italian film company Lux Vide, makers of Pope John Paul II and Saint Rita,
this movie tells the whole life story of John XXIII from his youth thru
his young priesthood, Bishop, Cardinal and Pope. Elected supposedly as
an “interim Pope” who would just keep the status quo and listen to the
advisers around him, John XXIII proved to be his own man when he
surprised the Church and world by calling for the Second Vatican
Council.
This film also underscores his wonderful sense of humor and
great charity towards others, especially the poor, downtrodden, and the
outcast. Shot in widescreen, with excellent acting all around and
beautiful cinematography, the film also stars Claude Rich, Sydne Rome,
Massimo Ghini and Franco Interlenghi.
