A ruthless gangster schemes to kidnap the pope and get $1 in ransom from every Catholic in the world in this irreverent crime comedy from popular nightclub entertainer, actor, and director Duke Mitchell (MASSACRE MAFIA STYLE). Filmed in 1975, GONE WITH THE POPE remained unfinished when Mitchell died in 1981. Flash forward to 1995, when Grindhouse Releasing partners Sage Stallone and Bob Murawski discovered the original film elements among Mitchell's belongings, and began the arduous process of piecing the film together. Fifteen years later, Mitchell's unfinished masterpiece finally hit the big screen.
