The Flowers of St. Francis (1950)

The Flowers of St. Francis consists of a series of modest vignettes (based on the 14th century book Little Flowers of St. Francis) which relate the life and work of St. Francis of Assisi and the early Franciscans, all of whom are portrayed by actual monks (a total of thirteen in the cast); with the exception of Aldo Fabrizi in a small supporting role, the entire cast is non-professional.
The film is divided into nine (9) vignettes, each covering an incident in the life of St. Francis subsequent to his vocation.
(1) How Brother Ginepro returned naked to St. Mary of the Angels, where the brothers had finished building their hut.
(2) How Giovanni, known as “the Simpleton”, asked to follow St. Francis and began imitating him in word and gesture.
(3) Of the wonderful meeting between St. Clare and St. Francis at St. Mary of the Angels.
(4) How Brother Ginepro cut off a pig’s foot to give to a sick brother. (Don't imagine the pig was too thrilled.)
(5) How St. Francis, praying one night in the woods, met the leper.
(6) How Brother Ginepro cooked enough food for two weeks, and St. Francis moved by his zeal gave him permission to preach.
(7) How Brother Ginepro was judged on the gallows, and how his humility vanquished the ferocity of the tyrant Nicalaio.
(8) How St. Francis and Brother Leon experienced those things that are perfect happiness.
(9) How St. Francis left St. Mary of the Angels with his friars and traveled the world preaching peace.
