Non Catholics still seem to believe the portrayal of the Catholic Church in movies, where shrouded emissaries carry unbreakable secret commands from the Pope to willing assassins.

I am non Catholic and I think of Spencer Tracy in Boys Town or the nuns in Lily's of the Field or Bing Crosby in Bells of St Mary's.

I think the nuns in Lilies of the field were cool. It was sweet and a shrewd decision on the part of Hollywood to make some pro-Catholic flics.

I should have said SOME non-Catholics.

I thought the Jesuit assassin in “Elisabeth” was one of the scariest bit of filming I’ve seen in a while. That was kind of an empty movie (Message: It’s hard to be Queen.) but it had some great uses of light.
