Synopsis:
Christopher Columbus sails west with the help of Fernando and Isabel and discovers Central America where he thought the Spice Islands were. Unhappily for the indigenous peoples there, he also brings European diseases.

Handsome, as well as timely, filming of a neglected area of history, but dramatically thin, and the central performance is a rare dud.
