I saw this movie about 45 yrs ago,on television, I've shown the DVD to anyone who will watch it.. One of my favorites. It's about people who do the right thing regardless of the consequences. Both the Nuns and the Italian soldiers collaborate to help Jewish children escape from the local concentration camp. The German soldiers were not made into caricatures,which is a welcome relief. It is not an action packed movie but rather deals with character emotions and outcomes. It was interesting to see the lack of knowledge that the Nuns had about Jewish religion in WWII. They had to research the holy day of Yum Kippur. The thinking of the Vatican back then,almost placed the Jewish faith at odds with Christian beliefs.
