Foreign Movie: THE MOMENT OF TRUTH (1965) B


Spanish; subtitles

The Moment of Truth tells the story of a farm boy, Mateo, who heads for the bullrings of Barcelona. In this gritty drama, real-life torero Miguel Mateo plays a famous bullfighter whose ups and downs provide a vivid glimpse into a dangerous world. The movie shows both the violence and pageantry of this ancient "entertainment". 

He quickly becomes a top-rated toreador and press darling. His downfall is just as abrupt.  

No real plot, just bull fighting and gore . . .1965 style
