Perforce Director Rouben Mamoulian substitutes spectacle and color for the story in Blood and Sand II. His film artfully goes from low to high key as it takes its color tone from the palettes of the Spanish masters: the somber browns of Murillo for the opening sequence; the shade and shine of Sorolla for the market scenes; El Greco's eerie greens in the chapel; Velasquez' black & white for the banquet; and the rich red & gold of Goya for the arena...

The greatly improved home forces are rated a good bet to hobble the Elephants...
