- Critics' reviews
-
-
"An intelligent historical drama, exciting and atmospheric while never losing sight of the human passions that are its driving force."
-
"Heston is more convincing in his battle scenes than in romancing Rosemary Forsyth, but nevertheless delivers a hard-hitting performance."
-
"The rituals of pagan mythology are well observed - cabalistic idols, sacrifices - as is Heston's disintegration in the face of a mental force that he can't understand."
