...along with the Communist regimes as long as they allow the Church to perform even a minimum of its functions, in order to spare the faithful persecutions and the prospect of martyrdom. There is also a "muscular"' faction in the Church-among its spokesmen are Cardinals Ottaviani, Canali and New York's Spellman-which believes that the Red regimes are slowly strangling Catholicism in Eastern Europe, and that it might be better to take a tough line, even if this should force the Church to go underground.

All of the other parts are well done; notably Anna Maria Canali as Maddalena and Marcella Govini as Gilda. I feared for a while that Miss Govini was a follower of the still-flourishing Jeanette MacDonald School of Cinema Singers--those unique actresses who manage somehow to sing through their teeth (or porcelain caps, as the case may be) and whose little tummies...
