Overview

The Popes are a family who haven't been able to use their real identity for years. In the late sixties, the parents set a weapons lab afire in an effort to hinder the government's Vietnam war campaign. Ever since then, the Popes have been on the run with the authorities never far behind. Their survival is threatened when their eldest son falls in love with a girl, and announces his wish to live his life on his own terms.

Review

By badelf

It's a little bit long for the sole issue that the script deals with. Other than that, very well played by all the leads, and Stanley Lumet did a decent job with the limited material.
