Based of the Graham Greene novel about a revolutionary priest in Central America. A priest who is The Fugitive is trying to getaway from the authorities who have denounced Christianity and want anyone linked to it dead. The Fugitive finds shelter with an Indian Woman (The Woman), a faithful parishioner, who gives the priest directions to Puerto Grande, where he could then board a ship and sail to freedom in America. On his journey to Puerto Grande, he meets up with a man who says he will protect him. In reality, he is the Police Informer and once The Fugitive realizes this, he is back on the run, but the Police Informer is never far behind along with the authorities.
约翰福特在片中赋予了神父布道场景一种缓慢的诗意的格调
在某个极权的拉丁美洲国家,一个天主教神父的逃亡之路,仅凭这些这部影片中右的倾向就显而易见了,更不用说在那个特殊的年代影片更被一些居心叵测的人加以利用,不管福特如何解释也都是徒劳。而福特对格林原著的大量改动也被很多人诟病。PS福特说他死后50年仍然会有人看这片子,而我只喜欢影片的摄影

原来是跟据格林的小说改编的,我看过原著,确实像两个故事 ,但摄影布光真的好赞,亨利方达演牧师的气质也契合,宗教的庄严神圣感展现得非常到位,结尾的一束光,十字架印象深刻。
布景摄影加上方达的表演都可圈可点,气氛较为阴郁
