Monsignor

An ambitious American veteran turned priest (Christopher Reeve, Somewhere in Time) journeys to Rome to take his assignment as the Vatican's new treasurer. But upon his arrival, he finds the holy coffer nearly bare and takes it upon himself to refill it, striking illegal business deals with a U.S. Army sergeant with ties to the Italian Mob. The young priest's morality is corrupted even further when he meets and seduces a beautiful young woman (Genevieve Bujold) on her way to becoming a nun. Can his faith save him before his sins condemn him?

From director Frank Perry (Mommie Dearest) comes a tale of ambition, greed, lust and power, boasting stellar performances from supporting cast members including Jason Miller (The Exorcist), Fernando Rey (The French Connection) and Joe Pantoliano (The Sopranos).
