This is your chance, if you ever wanted one, to see a Catholic priest dance the jitterbug, fire a machine gun at Nazis, lure the Vatican into the black market, strike deals with a Mafia chieftain, seduce a postulant, say "Damn it!" A couple of old-time Hollywood screenwriters, Abraham Polonsky and Wendell Mayes, count on your susceptibility to old-time shock and indignation to keep you interested in the paralyzingly talky script. Christopher Reeve keeps from laughing, but barely, in the lead role; Leonardo Cimino is actually an even more audacious choice as a shrunken, mummified Pope, and fulfills his role with more dignity. With Fernando Rey, Jason Miller, and Genevieve Bujold; directed by Frank Perry. (1982) — Duncan Shepherd
