When a local whore is pursued by the police, he hides her and is defrocked by the church for his act of charity. He gives away his raiment and walks barefoot, only to be mocked by villagers. Wherever he goes, "Nazarin"-as the villagers call him- becomes synonymous with trouble. Finally, he shuffles off to oblivion in the custody of police...

...King's breath freezing in the chill sunlight of his vast hall, Hotspur's (Norman Rodway) peripatetic motion caught by a camera tracking in tight close-up, the gross Falstaff beside the cruelly emaciated Justice Shallow (Alan Webb), Doll Tearsheet (Jeanne Moreau) demonstrating how a tender and accomplished whore might satisfy an impossibly fat old patron. The Battle of Shrewsbury is simply the finest, truest, ugliest war footage ever shot and edited for a dramatic movie. Welles fills Falstaff with motifs to create visual unities: the vast castle wall which dominates shot after shot; the oppressive vacuity of Spanish winter...
