The Catholic Office of Cinema wrote in 1959:"from the Good Book ,they only took the proper nouns and they depicted a false Judith /tyrant relationship (1)." Even if they tried to make this "Biblical" episode story like ,they did not succeed in making a very interesting tale.
Here is a well-paced epic which veers sharply away from the exploitation field, and enters the waters of historical film-making, only to lag conspicuously when viewed from that perspective. The story itself is decently told, with almost no "action" taking place between the characters, most of the plot being dialog and drama.
This is the biblical tale of Judith saving her people.The version of this film I saw seemed to be dubbed on an alien planet with voices only matching lips rarely.
