* FaceDeathWithDignity: Don Pietro tells the priest giving him last rites that it is easy to die well, but difficult to live well. He demonstrates this by remaining calm and collected even as he is tied to a chair while a firing squad lines up behind him, especially when the altar boys from his parish show up at the fence to whistle a resistance signal in a demonstration of solidarity.
* FryingPanOfDoom: Don Pietro and Marcello get into the latter's building under the pretext of needing to pray for a bedridden old man (they are actually hiding evidence of resistance activities). Unfortunately, the man starts ranting about how he's not sick enough to need a priest, and as for the Germans and Fascists, they can go to Hell for all he cares. Don Pietro asks Marcello to hand him something, and a later scene reveals that he bashed the old man over the head with a frying pan.

The film takes place during the nine months of the German occupation of Rome, August 1943 to June 1944. Judging by the reference to the battle of Monte Cassino, the film is set some time between January and May of 1944.

The Nazis know about him and are hunting Rome for him, so he escapes to the apartment of his friend Francesco, who is also part of the resistance.

Giorgio was supposed to smuggle some money out to resistance fighters in the hills, but can't leave the city now that the Germans are looking for him. He approaches Don Pietro, a sympathetic priest, and asks him to do it. Don Pietro agrees...but the Germans are closing in Giorgio's little ring.
