What happens

Saving Grace is a 1986 comedy-drama film directed by Robert M. Young, produced by Herbert F. Solow, and starring Tom Conti, Giancarlo Giannini and Edward James Olmos. It is based on the eponymous novel by Celia Gittelson with screenplay by Richard Kramer and David S. Ward under a different name. It was the last film to be distributed by Embassy Pictures. The film gained notoriety after the election of a real Pope Leo XIV, whose baptismal name is Robert, as with the movie's Leo XIV. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
