YMMV / The Flowers of St. Francis

• Vindicated by History: The movie was poorly received upon release. It was even presented to a group of Franciscans, who were divided over the film's quality. Rossellini once presented the film to Monsignor Angelo Roncalli, the future Pope St. John XXIII, who then told Rossellini, "Poor man, you don't know what you've done." It is now seen as one of the best religious movies of all time, with the Vatican listing this film as one of the forty-five greatest films ever made.
