Rating: Q=7, P=5 / Can't Get Enough
Scale 1=4, Scale 2=3, Scale 3=3, Scale 4=2

Action, War/Intrigue, Renaissance

A beautiful film set in 1500 Italy--done completely on location at the sites of the story. What a feat! The acting here is wonderful and somewhat overlooked, I feel--Orson Welles, Tyrone Power, Wanda Hendrix, and Everett Sloane. All had great performances with such an inspiring background to work in. This story of man caught in the world of Cesare Borgia is intense and full of intrigue and wickedness and redemption. Worth watching!
