STARRING:
An inspirational story of one man's journey.
Born into a life of privilege, passion and extravagance, Francis of Assisi would become one of the most beloved and revered saints in history. Bradford Dillman delivers a gripping performance as the lusty adventurer who hears the voice of God and answers by abandoning his secular life. Trading in his sword for a cross, he rises to glory... only to see his life's work threatened by a corrupt and jealous church hierarchy. Helmed by famed "Casablanca" director, Michael Curtiz, this epic tale of courage and sacrifice will inspire the entire family.
It was actually filmed in Assisi in Umbria, Italy, but also at Cinecittà Studios in Rome, Italy.
