    ...did Kappler actually issue orders to kill Father O'Flaherty if he crossed the white line that was painted around the Vatican???..... would they have?
    ...to me, this was a very interesting story -- the Irish priest vs the evil SS --in Rome---[ sounds like a movie------it is a movie! ] ....I read one book on it which got into O'Flaherty's life/etc ...
    ...it said he escaped capture one time by climbing out of a coal chute

    ..the movie is ok, I guess...with Gregory Peck as the priest and Chis Plummer as Kappler
