The Living Idol (1957)
An Excuse For Cinemascope

The only things I enjoyed about this were the lovely panoramic views of Mayan ruins and the fiesta costumes. Plodding., interminable initial dialogue reminiscent of 193Os horror movie exposition, a bizarre dance sequence in front of a bluescreen of extras .. I kept wondering, "Is she gonna turn into a jaguar, or what"? Steve Forrest is the Great Value Kirk Douglas with all the charm of ...a charmless thing. Odd occuring references to soup. There's also some obvious overdubbing. Some quotes by Plato.and Blake fail to add any depth to this shallow stream of a story. I watched till the end in order to write a more complete review. Don't make the same mistake.
