Plot Summary, Synopsis, Review: library.bpeer.com - cervantes.es - IMDb: «...This film production was a very expensive one for the time. The budget spent can be seen on the screen in the form of careful and special art design (meticulous showings of the Spanish court in historical surroundings with a lot of extras... no matter the historical accurate because after all this is fiction). Depicted in a prologue and five episodes are different periods of the Italian navigator's life... from his childhood, his financial relationship with the Castilian Kings to the injustices he suffered until his death. The most important aspect of this film it is that despite being a kind of biographical film, it is not a hagiographic one. It shows the dreams, contradictions and doubts of that important and historical celebrity as performed by a histrionic French actor named Georges Wague. He did the best he could. But for this German Count, it did not compensate for primitive direction, glaring room for some special effects and the need for some slight camera movements...» (Ferdinand von Galitzien).
