Facts about

"The Flowers of St. Francis" was edited for its 1952 US release, with Rossellini's chapter-like inter titles and a couple of scenes removed from the original Italian version. They have been reintroduced in the Criterion and in the Masters of Cinema edition.
Roberto Rossellini was one of a group of pioneering film makers of the neo-realist era. Rather than shooting on stage, they shot on locations and quite often used non professional actors. Most of the performers in the film, with exception of Aldo Fabrizi, are real Franciscian monks.
The screenplay takes its inspiration from the 14th Century legends "Fioretti di San Francesco" and "La Vita di Frate Ginepro".
