Christophe Colomb

An instructive and interesting historical film, representing important scenes in the life of the Portuguese navigator who gave a new hemisphere to the world and died in poverty. To say whether a film of this type is accurate is impossible, since much of the information which has come down to modern times is at best fragmentary and conflicting. The important points are well understood, however, and in the scenes presented in this film those features of Columbus' life which are well known are graphically set forth. It is a sumptuous film, well acted, adequately staged and clearly photographed. The combination is responsible for a picture which conveys reasonably accurate facts and does it in an interesting and convincing way. - The Moving Picture World, May 28, 1910
