Scarlet Pimpernel Of The Vatican by J.P. Gallagher

La serie de televisión 'Escarlata y Negro' está basada en este libro, pero como usualmente ocurre en las adaptaciones fílmicas, introdujeron muchos cambios: cambiaron los nombres de casi todas las personas que ayudaron a O'Flaherty, e inventaron algunas nuevas, como el padre Morosini.

For instance, the scene where O'Flaherty asks for Kappler's autograph in the Opera program and then uses a forged signature to save one of the men of his organization who had been captured by the Nazis is mentioned in the book, but actually happened to different people: the wife of a collaborator of O'Flaherty and a German general, and the signature was kept for a need, but never used.ĮSPAÑOL: Relato verídico de las actividades de Monseñor O'Flaherty durante la ocupación de Roma por los nazis en favor de los judíos, los prisioneros de guerra evadidos y otros fugitivos. Some of the anecdotes in Gallagher's book have been modified to make them more cinematic and whimsical. Although O'Flaherty spent almost a year immobilized in The Vatican, for there was a price on his head, in the series he is shown touring Rome disguised in various ways: as a nun, as an SS officer, and otherwise. The TV series 'Scarlet and Black' is based on this book, but as usual in film adaptations, they introduced many modifications: they changed the names of almost all the people who helped O'Flaherty, plus adding a few invented characters, such as Father Morosini.

ENGLISH: True account of the activities of Monsignor O'Flaherty during the occupation of Rome by the Nazis in favor of Jews, escaped POWs and other fugitives.
