Reviews in German: "Ein Mammutspektakel über den historisch zwergenhaften Michelangelo ì
Buonarotti, ein Film, der über die wirklichen Probleme künstlerischen ì
Schaffens hinweggeht, die historisch ebenfalls bekannten sexuellen ì
Schwierigkeiten Michelangelos auf recht eigene Art löst. Ein einziger ì
Lichtpunkt inmitten viel Agonie und sehr wenig Extase bleibt Papst Rex ì
Harrison, neben einem ganz daneben gegriffenen Charlton Heston. Regie führt ì
Carol Reed, der scheinbar vergessen hat, dass er früher einmal einen DRITTEN ì
MANN zu drehen verstand." (lhg 1967)
