Some of the anecdotes in Gallagher's book have been modified to make them more cinematic and whimsical. Although O'Flaherty spent almost a year immobilized in The Vatican, for there was a price on his head, in the series he is shown touring Rome disguised in various ways: as a nun, as an SS officer, and otherwise. The TV series "Scarlet and Black" is based on this book, but as usual in film adaptations, they introduced many modifications: they changed the names of almost all the people who helped O'Flaherty, plus adding a few invented characters, such as Father Morosini.
ENGLISH: True account of the activities of Monsignor O'Flaherty during the occupation of Rome by the Nazis in favor of Jews, escaped POWs and other fugitives.
