    Enjoyable exposition
    This is generally enjoyable. It does a reasonably good job of situating the drama in 5th century Roman Africa, even though the external sets are obviously contemporary (to Rossellini) Roman remains. The interiors are well done and convincing. The drama is dramatic when it needs to be, though there are some lengthy theological discussions, and one does get a sense of the power of St. Augustine's preaching, of the theological disputes of the time and of the tasks of a bishop. The scenes from his life, though limited till his later life, are well chosen to illustrate his character and accomplishments. I'm not sure that I found the principal character terribly convincing or that characterisation came through strongly, but this two dimensional element fitted the didactic style of the film and the art of the time.
