...towards the South, 'Friends and comrades!' he said, 'on that side are toil, hunger, nakedness, the drenching storm, desertion, and death; on this side ease and pleasure. There lies Peru with its riches; here, Panama and its poverty. Choose, each man, what best becomes a brave Castilian. For my part, I go to the South.'" It was an epic moment, one of the many, in fact, that The Royal Hunt of the Sun shamelessly overlooks in favor of pop-psych melodramatics. A pity, too, because when this Freudian version of the conquest of Peru concentrates...

There is a comparatively small but very proud and loyal group of people in the U.S. whose ancestors were both Catholics and Americans long before the influx of ethnic groups.

As for the Prince of Arragon, James Valentine makes him a heavily accented and logorrheicninny; and, when he goes, Portia just can't resist making fun of his Castilian accent. She should talk! Much later, when she is identified by Lorenzo through her voice only, her comment-- "He knows me as the blind man knows the cuckoo,/By the bad voice." -- is far from the witticism she intends. Her confidante Nerissa, as Marian Hailey plays her, comes over as rather strident...
