VHS Movie Reviews of Seven Cities of Gold [VHS]

Movie Review: Great for Michael Rennie fans!
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought this movie not for the subject matter but rather for the rare leading role Michael Rennie was given in it. I'm not a history buff so the inaccuracies in the film don't particularly bother me. I bought this to add to my collection of films in which Rennie, one of my favorite actors, had a meaty part. If you liked his gentle yet strong portrayal of Klaatu in his most famous film, "The Day the Earth Stood Still", you'll also love his gentle yet strong portrayal of Father Serra, the missionary who went along with the Spanish on their expedition into California in the late 1700's. The film centers on Rennie's portrayal of this legendary priest and his quiet bravery and determination in the face of many obsticles to bring Christianity to the Indian peoples of California. Rennie was excellent, and while this movie is a bit 'sappy' at times..typical for a 1955 movie with religious overtones.. as a Rennie fan I was still delighted with his performance, which is why I gave the film 4 stars. They are for Rennie, not for the content or historical accuracy of the movie. If you enjoy this wonderful English character actor, this film will not disappoint you!

Movie Review: Misnomer
Summary: 2 Stars

Excellent cast, however not enough dialogue nor adventure for the Seven Cities they were in search of. Only 3 were slightly addressed in the movie. Granted, the priest was benevolent, but because he was given too much focus, the efforts of the Spanish conquest paled in significance. The Title "The Mission Priest" more accurately describes this movie, and it should be placed under a "Religious" rather than "Historical" category.

Movie Review: Great California Story of Morality!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a atory of a priest and seven missions of early California during a gold rush as it's participators have to chose between the sword and God.Starring,Anthony Quinn,it's a great California Story of Morality!!
