I visited San Giovanni Rotondo, Padre Pio's convent twice way back in the 1970's and met many people who knew him. I only wish I'd known about him much earlier. (I wish I'd actually KNOWN him personally.) When I discovered this film on You Tube recently, I was absolutely delighted. It has brought back many happy memories and I feel reunited with Padre again. My worry is that it will disappear from YOU Tube and there is no English dubbed version on DVD. Why not? I shall be very sad if it disappears. would it not possible to release an English version? Please do if you can. I wouldn't want to be without it. I thought the music was a bit overpowering and sentimental at times. Padre Pio was not a sentimental man and sometimes I thought the music didn't fit the person. However, this is "nit picking" and did not spoil the film for me, I have read several other reviews and am in agreement with all of them. If you find the film, watch it. I'd recommend it to everyone. Lovely casting, Lovely Padre Pio and the hard hearted Monseignor was very moving at the end. Bravo!
