I saw this film just because I like checking all Brazilian production. It's funny that here in Brazil almost all of the spectators had to read the subtitles because most of the dialogues is spoken in Italian. If you see the film as a whole you'll find it quite boring and uninteresting; but if you take your time to analyse its parts you may find it quite good. In fact, the main actor, Anthony Quinn, has a very good interpretation; the storyline is very interesting and well composed but the rest of the characters are presented superficially, so they are not able to show us any deep feeling. Paulo Betti can't convince us and Letícia Spiller, who plays very well in Brazilian soap operas, behaves as if she was playing at first time in a movie. The cinematography has some visible flaws; the sound can be considered good but the score should have been done more carefully. All in all, Anthony Quinn and the screenplay are the only good qualities in this film. My vote: 5 out of 10.
