I just finished watching The Scarlet and the Black with Gregory Peck, John Gielgud, and Christopher Plummer. The movie was ok, the music was a bit hard to take. Anyway, the best part of the movie was at the very end-I had no idea of the full story of Msgr. Hugh O'Flaherty. Here is a good sermon by an Episcopal priest on the 1st anniversary of September 11th that tells the O'Flaherty story. A fellow Long Islander, William Simpson (a Scottish Presbyterian ), wrote a book on Hugh O'Flaherty and the Vatican's role in saving people in WWII- The book is mentioned here.
