Review of The Royal Hunt of the Sun (1969) by Orlok W — 12 May 2008
An okay adapation- not a great one. A lot of dialogue is cut from the play.
Robert shaw is good, but the real amazing performance is be Christopher Plummer. His Incan prince is so far removed from Captain Von Trap from The Sound of Music that it's difficult to believe he's the same person. He includes bird-like mannerims into his character, probably because his people believe him to be a bird/god. He gives a trial dance that he looks like he's known his whole life.
David Carradine - or Kung Fu, did the role on Broadway.
My DVD was of very poor quality. Had to turn up my TV's volume up all the way just for it to be audible.
