Pope Joan (1972)


The medieval legend of Pope Joan, a woman, who was made Pope for a brief period around 855 A.D.

Despite some production value and a star cast this quite pedestrian movie hardly makes much out of a rather spectacular story.

Halliwell (no star): "Uninspiring pageant, brutish and rather silly, full of would-be medieval sensationalism."

Maltin BOMB: "Dim story...Performers seem to be embarrassed, as well as they should..."
