Title: Better than expected.
Product review: I purchased this film because of the score by Erich Korngold, but, acknowledging what often happens with Hollywood biopics, I came to be moved by the film itself. Specifically, because it represents two men originally motivated, given the time, by worthy ideals, but who become antagonists through events and machinations of others beyond their control. Apart from any question of historical accuracy, "Juarez" becomes a political drama in the spirit of a Greek tragedy. I was also pleasantly surprised to see Brian Aherne in a role (Maximillian) quite different from those in which I saw him when I was a child.
