On Aug. 22, 2022 this blog listed the best movie priests. Easily number one was the Javier Bardem priest in Into the Wonder. He now has a competitor. Last night I finally watched (at suggestion of friend Tim Regan) Rome, Open City. I had been prepared for the dazzling Anna Magnani, but not for the main protagonist, Father Pietro. He is chubby, unglamorous, very Italian, wonderful with the wild street boys, unabashedly pious, saintly and breathtakingly heroic. He is officially in a tie for first place among movie priests.
