Pope John Paul II is a 1984 American biopic drama television film based on the life of Karol Wojtyła, from his early days as an activist in Poland to his installation as Pope John Paul II. Written by Christopher Knopf and directed by Herbert Wise, the film stars Albert Finney, Caroline Bliss, Brian Cox, and John Forgeham.[1][2] The film marks both Albert Finney's American television debut[3][4] and the first script Finney had ever turned down upon initial reading.[5][6]
