Lentorama 2014: We're Ready for Your Closeup, Your Holiness
Day 21: Francis of Assisi
This 1961 film is a straightforward biopic of the current pope's namesake. Not much to say about it, really. The pope is played by Finley Currie, a British character actor who didn't make his first film until he was in his 50s. The only other notable name (to me, at least) is Pedro Armendáriz, who plays a sultan. You may know him better for his last film role, Kerim Bey in From Russia With Love.
