Then, taking hold of 27 Behold a Pale Horse.The main characters of Behold a Pale Horse novel are John F. That Magister Ado had decided upon his own salvation and was urging his horse forward, passing her.
Behold a Pale Horse is the biggestselling underground book of all time, Cooper often told his audience. Paco lets Artiguez know that his father was killed because he wouldn't tell the police where to find Artiguez, whom Viñolas must capture if he is to retain his rank in the Guard. Paco tells Artiguez that he wants him to kill Viñolas ( Anthony Quinn), a Guardia Civil officer, for killing his father. Pedro sends Paco into France to find his uncle and Artiguez.
The priest also gives Paco a letter to warn Artiguez that he saw a collaborator at the Guard headquarters.Paco flushes the letter down the toilet and doesn't pass on the verbal message because he feels sure the priest must be lying. When the priest appears at Artiguez's house, he's gone, so the priest tells Paco to pass on the message that Artiguez's mother is already dead, and not to go to San Martín. After Viñolas has laid his trap, Artiguez's mother dies, but Viñolas sends a spy to convince Artiguez otherwise, and to come visit her. In return for information about the layout of the hospital and surrounding area, Paco tells Artiguez to "bump into Viñolas" for him.A priest ( Omar Sharif) visits with Artiguez's mother, who initially refuses to speak to him, but his kindness and sincerity win her over enough to ask him to warn her son not to come to see her, as she knows the Guard will be waiting for him. Like all Republican sympathizers, she is contemptuous and deeply suspicious of all Catholic clergy, some of who collaborated with Francoist Spain, both during and after the war.
Carlos, knowing he is exposed, attacks Artiguez and escapes.The priest tries to overcome Artiguez's antipathy for all clergy and Artiguez confesses that he knew all along that his mother was sick but didn't visit her before her death because he is no longer as brave as he was in his youth. When Carlos returns to Artiguez's house for his rucksack, Artiguez asks the priest to come out. On the way back, however, they see the priest, and forcibly take him to Artiguez's house. But the priest was delayed on the way, and since he's not there, they let Carlos go. Trying to clear up the mess, Artiguez takes Paco and Carlos to Lourdes to find the priest. Pedro believes the boy, but Artiguez can't believe his friend Carlos would betray him.
Raymond Pellegrin as Carlos, a friend of Artiguez, also his traitor Anthony Quinn as Captain Viñolas, a Francoist Guardia Civil captain Gregory Peck as Manuel Artiguez, an aging Republican guerilla Once inside the hospital, he kills a few officers, but is finally shot.Soldiers and officers congratulate Viñolas on at last killing his enemy, but he asks one of his lieutenants, knowing his mother was already dead and a trap would be waiting for him, why did Artiguez come back? The final shot is of the morgue, with the soldiers Artiguez killed and Artiguez himself (and his dead mother), wheeled in on gurneys and arranged in a row, dead. Picking up the sniper's rifle he sees Carlos the informer (who is with the police in a nearby building) looking out a window to see what has caused the commotion Artiguez pauses briefly then shoots Carlos, killing him. Once in San Martín, Artiguez encounters a Francoist sniper on the roof of the hospital and attacks him, sending him to his death.
The American leftist political activist Allard K. As well, several Spanish refugees were used to play the parts of Franco's Guardia Civil officers. Maurice in Vincennes.Originally, Anthony Quinn had requested the role of Artiguez, but Zinnemann felt it would be type-casting him, and gave him the opposing role of the villain Viñolas. The production resorted to filming exterior shots across the border in France: Biarritz on la Côte Basque, and locations in Béarn such as Pau, Oloron, Gotein-Libarrenx, La Brèche de Roland, and the basilica at Lourdes, as well as Studio St.
The score was originally released by Colpix Records as an LP (Colpix Records SCP 519) in the United States, and a two track EP in France. The instrumentation consists mainly of Spanish-style guitar, woodwind instruments, harpsichord, and the harp. Music and score The score for Behold a Pale Horse was composed and conducted by Maurice Jarre. After Columbia previewed the film for US audiences, they decided that an intro was needed to provide background relating to the Spanish Civil War, so clips from the documentary about the war To Die in Madrid were interspersed with dialogue explaining the conflict. Filming began on June 13, 1963, and continued for a little over 100 days, running nearly a month over schedule. Zinnemann felt it would be good for Peck to be able to meet actual political refugees living in France.
I took too much for granted. The point simply did not get over. The reaction to that was a disappointment, but it was justified. The New York Times gave it a mixed review, being disappointed with the execution of the film, though impressed with its sets and actors, while Variety was generally impressed, calling it "among the better" of Peck's career. According to Zinnemann this was because the Spanish Civil War had slipped from the memories of its audience. The main theme from the score also featured on the CD Maurice Jarre at Abbey Road released in 1992 by Milan Records, with Jarre conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.Despite promotional tours by Peck (in the US) and Zinnemann (London and Paris), the film did not have a large reception (the box-office receipts not being enough even to recoup the costs of production).
Columbia suffered heavily through the Franco ban on their films because of 'Pale Horse' but they were wonderfully good about it.Incensed by scenes showing Viñolas with a mistress, and taking bribes, the government of Spain denied filming as well as distribution in Spain, causing problems for its distributor, Columbia Pictures, which had all of its films denied distribution in Spain, and was compelled to sell its distribution arm in Spain. I was to blame for playing the Spanish Civil Guard as 'heavies.' They are sacred cows. There were other troubles too - with the Franco government.
