this movie be not what i expect . i expect more suspence and alot more acting in order to keep me interested in the film . this movie take place in the early 14th century when the spanish inquisition be at it peak . a bald head man that play the part of a priest try citizen of all kind of wrongdoing against the bible when he himself be not so innocent . he fall in love with a baker wife and make sure in his own way that she do not tell anyone of his true identity . his associate follow along with with him a they try to gain power and fame themselves use public exicutions and torture . this movie be slow and at time bore . the actor be no name actor play by people who can not act . other than the brief special appearance by oliver reed who for the small role that he play a cardinal he could have do a good job of speak the fake spanish accent . there be good version of this film . watch vincent price version before you get bore with this one .
