Director: Otto Preminger
Risible script based on a doorstop novel by Henry Morton Robinson, but handled by Preminger with tremendous panache; worth seeing just for the incredible skill and flair with which he stages the action and moves the camera.
Top CriticA compulsively watchable if distorted history lesson

Top CriticIt's nothing more than a kitsch take on the good and bad of the Catholic Church, but it has the chutzpah to pose as a work of art.
With an hour cut out of it, this might have been a landmark picture.
Top CriticThis is an extremely well constructed film, made with a balance that keeps its overflowing plot line in perfect control.

Implausible epic telling of Tom Tryon as courageous priest has great Moross score.
he end is a great letdown from what Mr. Preminger might have accomplished with the 1950 novel of Henry Morton Robinson. There is no strong flow of spirit through it. Even the melodrama is perfunctory and weak.
