Movie Info

John Glen directed this throwback to the costume dramas of the 1930s and 1940s, but without a smidgen of their energy and verve. George Corraface plays Christopher Columbus as a dynamic and muscular comic-book hero. He has a dream to set sail to find a new passageway to India, but he needs the backing of the Spanish government to do it.

Stagy, unconvincing, and frequently quite amusing.

This movie is even worse than 1492. That's kind of hard to top too. This film did it. It really puts almost a Disney shine on western history that's impossible to swallow but some sadly did. Retarded.
