Just watched this for the first time, mainly to see Stephen Boyd. The first thing I noticed overall was the beautiful scenery and the outstanding cinematography. Beyond that I found the story very confusing. It all started to come together towards the end of the film. I think perhaps that watching the story a second time will help the details fall in line. It's not a bad movie, just confusing. For Stephen Boyd fans, you will barely recognize the man. His later film choices met his needs and brought him the satisfaction that he could not find in Hollywood. as a character actor. That being said, for those of us who remember him as Messala in BenHur and some of the other films he made in Great Britain before BenHur) and other of his films from the sixties, this is a painful film to watch. Don't get me wrong, he did a fine job in this film but I wanted to see the man who knocked my socks off in 1959.
