Very well acted. it achieves great tension and sudden scary scenes with an easy to like cast. Knowing that they are a married couple in real life adds to the realism and fear factor.

Taken straight from history.
It is of an historical period that is often under described in school. The actors are playing people who are wonderfully repellent and yet are hard not to watch as they act out and behave horribly. The massacre of the Protestants is really gruesome and shocking. Isabel Adjani is so beautiful in an ugly time and ugly places.

A window into the of the Spain of the16th century and the Inquisition, the conquest of Mexico and a real volcano erupting erupting in the distance.
The disc itself had some minor scratches but despite its condition it only stopped twice. The narrative and film I have watched many times. Just read some interesting details about Tyrone Power so was watching his acting skills and active sword fighting in this film about the Inquisition in Spain and the conquest of Mexico. Bizarre bombastic performance of Cesar Romero as Cortez. Jay Silverheels (Lone Ranger's Tonto) was cleverly cast as an Aztec lord formerly captured and enslaved by the Spanish Showing the Paricutin volcano erupting was fortuitous in the a natural Mexican landscape. I wish they could have shown more of the Aztec city in the lake which they later destroyed. As a much younger viewer when I first saw this film the memories were greatly enhanced since I first saw it in black and white not the brilliant Technicolor.
