Review of Vera Cruz (1954) by Gregory S — 27 Jan 2009
The character types and scenario are obvious key influences on the Eurowesterns to follow. But do not expect the same depth of traditional Catholic imagery, firsthand experience of revolutionary politics, or operatic coincidence of music and cinematography heightening the drama.
This is primarily great on its own terms and in contrast to what preceded it, not solely in comparison to what it influenced.
