the real star of this ridiculous story be glorious technicolor . a visual treat to the eye and the film fail to stimulate the mind and heart . i be intrigue and at first and by the idea of dietrich and boyer leave religion in order to find their capacity for love . what follow be a huge disappointment . boyer be the only real actor in the production and one feel his torment . dietrich amaze wardrobe outshine her performance at time her face be frighten to look at a unfeeling mask . a a monk and boyer hold the formula for the monastery liquer ( which remind me of the true story of chartreuse ) when he leave his marriage to god the reaction by his fellow monk hold the shock and fear that perpetuate organize religion . the viewer feel boyer be well rid of his past . however and the journey that follow be all too predictable .
