Seems this film was "lost" for a time after the star/director/producer died without completing the film in 1981 It seems it has been brought back to life
"Sage Stallone and Bob Murawski of Grindhouse Releasing rediscovered GONE WITH THE POPE in 1995 and vowed to save it from obscurity. Academy Award-nominated film editor Murawski (THE HURT LOCKER, SPIDER-MAN 1,2 & 3) spent 15 years completing GONE WITH THE POPE from the surviving film elements."

Hmmm, that must be have been really lost -- it's not listed on IMDB.
