About In the Name of the Pope King
In 1867, with Garibaldi's forces close to bringing Rome into the Italian kingdom, Monsignor Colombo da Priverno, a world-weary judge on the papal court, wants to resign, disgusted by the violence to which the papacy resorts to hold secular power.
Directed by Luigi Magni, In the Name of the Pope King leans on a strong ensemble — Nino Manfredi, Danilo Mattei, Carmen Scarpitta — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about history titles of 1977.
