Quantano is a small and isolated Mexican town run by the tyrannical,
atheistic bandito Dirk Bogarde. John Mills arrives in Quantano as a dedicated
Roman Catholic priest who ignores Bogarde's rules and invites people to
attend church. His life is threatened, but Mills forges ahead and begins
building a following, including Mylene Demongeot, a young girl who has
a crush on the clergyman. Angered by this defiance, Bogarde begins killing
peasants in alphabetical order, but stops after building a sort of reluctant
admiration for the feisty priest. He even has one of his own men killed
after another attempt on the priest's life. Bogarde confronts Mills and
tells him that he will be allowed to live if he can determine which inspires
good: the "singer" (priest) or the "song" (religion). A strange love triangle
is subtly built up between Demongeot, Mills and Bogarde. Though not overt,
there are strong suggestions that Bogarde's obsession with the priest has
homosexual overtones. Mills and Bogarde have a strong chemistry between
them that makes this unusual relationship believable. A British production
directed by Roy Ward Baker. Written by Nigel Balchin, based on the
novel The Singer, Not The Song by Audrey Erskine Lindop. (1961) Widescreen,
