Stephen boyd is peter, who confesses to his girlfriend that during the war, he was part of the crew who robbed banks to rebuild cathedrals which had been destroyed by the enemy. It's no coincidence that his last name is "churchman". Grace and angela (yvette mimieux, giovanna ralli) have reasons of their own for being involved. Mimieux was in SO many euro films. This must have been a pretty big budget film, since the wardrobes are by edith head. The story is pretty good, but there's just some chemistry missing between the actors. Some twists and turns. Boyd has a rather cardboard delivery, which takes away from the film. They DO show the running of the bulls in pamplona, which is exciting. Directed by russell rouse...he had won his oscar for pillow talk. Novel by william mcgivern. Music by vic mizzy, who had done the music background for so many tv series, like green acres. Stephen boyd died quite young at 45 from a heart attack. It's a pretty good film. Not terrific, but good.
