Captain from Castile (1947)

My Rating

Movie Info

In this big-budget historical adventure, Tyrone Power stars as Pedro De Vargas, a young and impetuous nobleman in 16th Century Spain. Pedro helps to free a slave who belongs to Diego De Silva (John Sutton), but this proves to be a mistake, as Diego is one of the leaders of the Inquisition. Diego soon brands Pedro a heretic, puts his family behind bars, and subjects his 12-year-old sister to torture so horrible it kills her. An outraged Pedro plots his escape, with the help of his friend Juan

Unrated, 2 hr. 20 min.

Lavish, overlong, and dull, Henry King's historical adventure stars Tyrone Power in what amounted to one of Fox's biggest-budget productions.

Furtando-se de analisar o aspecto moral da "conquista" do México, o filme apela para o melodrama em uma tentativa frustrada de emocionar, amarrando a história em uma conclusão artificial e repleta de furos.
