Plot
In Mexico, a general is leading his own war against the Church. Priests are rounded up, churches burned down and religion outlawed. A priest has to go on the run.
Reception
Diabolique magazine later wrote "this is sometimes called a spaghetti Western, but it isn’t really… It’s more a priest-on-the-run story, where a guitar-playing man of the cloth tries to escape army prosecution during the 1917 Mexican Revolution. This film’s a hard slog, badly dubbed and veers wildly in tone (one minute the priest is in drag, the next he’s being executed by firing squad). It’s very pro-Catholic, as if Lubin was trying to make amends to the Legion of Decency for To the People of the United States by making a a bad Leo McCarey movie." [4]
