The Chubby Cardinal


Leo McKern as Cardinal Leone is magnificent ! He can't be any better than he is.

He does the little things, the gestures, etc.-those silent looks which convey much.


He buttresses the movie with his strong supporting role along to a lesser degree Janssen and many others.

Olivier underplays his role. And, to me, both Werner & McKern are stand-outs.

Agreed.

Yes, but imo Janssen was as lively as a dead frog's leg - prior to electrical stimulus.
