It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I saw this movie as part of Jewish Latin American Films @ Skirball Museum of Los Angeles. As one who has some background in Holocaust related history, the biography of this person, Gilberto Bosques, was a complete revelation to me. I am truly baffled why he and his significant diplomatic career have been largely overlooked in English language sources; I hope that is not the case within his own Spanish speaking sources. I was intrigued enough to follow up once I was home and discovered that he has not been honored as a Righteous Gentile in Yad Vashem, although even the Raoul Wallenburg Foundation questions this obvious oversight. I wish more people had access to seeing this exceptional film that explores the life of an exceptional man who modestly maintained "I followed the policy of my country, helping, giving material and moral support to the heroic advocates of the Spanish Republic, of the brave paladins of the struggle against Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Petain and Laval." Run, don't walk to see this life affirming biography sensitively directed by Lillian Liberman.
