TV war movie about an Irish priest who helps people flee the Nazis in the Vatican. Not really an Irish movie but Peck makes a big deal about Ireland and mentions his dislike for the British! It's standard stuff and involves Peck's dealings with Plummer. Like a lot of TV films it's routine and contains few good scenes. Worth a look as there's an impressive cast and is based on a true story. Title comes from the colours of the Vatican/Nazi flags and also refers to the Scarlet Pimpernel which had a similar storyline.
