Dialogue:
Latin, English
Though no one had a good word for it at the time, Christopher Colombus is a surprisingly intelligent historica! drama, almost RossellinHike in its refusal to sacrifice a semi-didactic concern with historica! truth to the exigencies of entertainment. Gainsborough melodrama cameraman Stephen Dade achieves an unusual washed-out beauty in this, his first Technicolor film and David McDonald proves himself once again a stylish and inventive director.
