Deemed suitably controversial enough to be banned from both the Venice and Cannes Film Festivals.
For this film adaptation, Alec Guinness repeated his role of the Cardinal which he had played during its theatre run in 1954.
The setting of the film is deliberately ambiguous. There is no mention of which country or town the film is set in, nor when.
It has been said that playing the Cardinal was a major step toward Alec Guinness converting to Catholicism.
One of the first movies in Guinness' career to feature him without a hairpiece.
"The Interrogator: Afraid I'll slip you a truth drug? The Cardinal: Surely it's a confession you're after; not the truth."
"The Cardinal: Try not to judge the priesthood by the priest."
