Directed by Roberto Rossellini, with the approval of the General of the Fran- ciscan Order, the film is a gentle portrait of St. Francis, depicting some of the episodes in the life of the Saint and his "little brothers." The roles of the Saint and his Thirteen Brothers are played anonymously by monks of the Nocere Inferiore Monastery in Rofe. The film presents eight episodes from
the classic upon which it is based, and in which the story of St. Francis has been handed down through seven genera- tions since his death. Each episode de- scribes how the Saint lived and worked to spread his message of love, kindness, and peace.
