I'm surprised no-one has reviewed this film to date, as it is sill available on an excellent Excalibur DVD. Admittedly, the dialogue is wholly in Spanish, and the film has no sub-titles, but it is brilliantly directed by Norman Foster right up to the very last segment, most of which was obviously directed by a different hand (I suspect Alfredo Gomez de la Vega for most its length). Fortunately, the film suddenly regains form for the concluding episode. Although the prominently featured Ricardo Montalban (looking much more handsome here than in his Hollywood films) has not what you would call a very large role (although it is important and he does have a whole bull-fight sequence to himself - supported by a large amount of stock footage), he is not the main protagonist. Santa herself is brilliantly played by Esther Fernandez, a young woman who is seduced and then forced to work in a brothel. Stella Inda (also known as Estella Inda) also has an important role in the house, although we know little about her background. The movie runs for nearly two hours but rigidly holds the attention for all but ten minutes or so in the final segment.
