...colossal-it runs three hours and 15 minutes (including intermission), cost $6,200,000, employs an extra-wide widescreen, a special color process, 7,000 extras, 10,000 costumes, 35 ships, 50 outsize engines of medieval war, and four of the noblest old castles in Spain: Ampudia, Belmonte, Peñiscola and Torrelobaton.

Leigh Wharton, though a more than competent General St. Pe, is unfortunately British, forcing the rest of the actors also to try to sound British. Their success is not uniform.
