Reviews for Behold a Pale Horse
Peck is very good, Quinn is superb, and everyone involved with this powerful movie should take a bow.
Omar Sharif shows a warm, sensitive side in this film, playing the role of a young priest torn between obligations of personal morality and the official laws of government.
Behold a Pale Horse may be flawed, but is well worth taking a look at.
