A Man Named John ( Italian: E venne un uomo) is a 1965 drama film directed by Ermanno Olmi and starring Rod Steiger. [1]
The film is a biography of Pope John XXIII, who, however, does not appear in the film as an actual character. Instead Rod Steiger acts as an "intermediary", telling the Pope's life story while traveling through the places in Bergamo where he grew up.
Stanley Kauffmann of The New Republic described A Man Named John as a 'mistake'. [2]
