Ben G @RT00080036 Aug 7, 2025 Always enjoyed this film ever since seeing it on tv in the mid 50's. It reminds me now of The Fugitive only from 500 years ago with the Inquisition agent chasing Tyrone to the New World. Also makes sure we all don't forget about the abhorrent lengths the Inquisition would go to in its drive to control the populace anywhere.

At the time of filming, a couple of volcanoes were actually erupting and sending ash clouds into the sky in the background of several scenes. It is as good of an adventure epic as any of the early Hollywood features. The obvious drawback is the problematic conquest by Europeans of the Aztec Empire. There is some little counterbalance in terms of exposing the evils of the Spanish inquisition. There is one speech at the end of the movie by a Catholic priest with a hopeful message that the Americas would be a place without slaves and masters. We are still working on that goal. Overall, it is a remarkable film. See more Ingrid B @RT12814231 Nov 5, 2024 Tyrone Power is fabulous as ever. Handsome and a good actor. On location and Technicolor.
