Guiness is his usual superb self in this spiritually based drama based upon the book by Graham Greene. This is a slow paced theological study of Spanish Catholic life after Franco's dictatorship suited more specifically towards those of Catholic faith or interests and is in no way a thriller. The discussions between a benign and humble Catholic priest and his Communist friend with atheist views were stimulating and enlightening. A comic yet somber intellectual work without suspense yet rivoting in its own right...or should I say rite.
