Under Pontecorvo's benevolent but often wishy-washy leadership, the natives on a Portuguese island colony arise in revolutionary fervor. This solemn historical pageant is thrown somewhat out of whack by the hefty presence of Marlon Brando, a willing martyr to Western decadence in the fragrant role of a mercenary Britisher. The movie as it now stands has been edited to ribbons, which would certainly explain its rotten sense of rhythm, and its occasionally affecting moments consequently seem to spring up from nowhere. (1969) — Duncan Shepherd
