Pope Joan (1972)
Country: GB
Technical: col/scope 132m
Director: Michael Anderson
Cast: Liv Ullmann, Trevor Howard, Olivia de Havilland, Franco Nero
Synopsis:
In the Middle Ages, an ambitious young woman becomes a scholar of theology, disguises herself as a man to rise through the Catholic church and is ultimately elected Pope.
Review:
Having for its cast an extraordinarily broad church, encompassing Hollywood, British, and mittel-Europe, where it was shot, this uneven enterprise goes on too long and ends with a lurid and unedifying comeuppance. Perhaps it was trying to cash in on the notoriety of The Devils.
