Bereik en inhoud
A striving film of mighty adventure comes from MGM to the Majestic next. The MGM lion really roars with this one, a lavish production starring Anthony Quinn, Anjanette Comer and Charles Bronson.
In the black volcanic canyon of Mexico's El Saltito, a quiet Jesuit priest, Father William Barby Faherty, refused to lift a hand to stop the savage beating Anthony Quinn and Charles Bronson were taking at the hands of one another.
It was Father Faherty's first visit to a motion picture set, the excitement of the scene intensified for him by the fact that he was watching his first novel, "A Wall for San Sebastian", being transferred to the screen by MGM as "Guns for San Sebastian".
The picture, set in the mid-18th century, unfolds the drama of a soldier-rebel-patriot and leading candidate for the hangman's noose, who saves a village from being obliterated by a ferocious tribe of Yaqui Indians menacing the outposts of civilisation.
"Like Topsy, my story just grew", stated Father Faherty. "It started out as a seventeen-page story. I sent it to my friend, William Barrett, who wrote Lilies of the Field', asking him for his critical comments. He sent back a four-page analysis, advising me to develop the character of Teclo (played by Bronson) and bring into focus the heroine, Kinita (Anjanette Comer), who at one point in the narrative saves Anthony Quinn's life".
Asked about how much truth interspersed his fiction, Father Faherty said: "Many incidents in this work were inspired by Father Keno, who established missions in Sonora and Arizona in the 1700s. One incident is from the life of Father Pierre Jean de Smet, a missionary among the north-western Indians in the United States. Others were inspired by Father Junipero Serra".
