Plot

Two men and a prostitute in a story of a legacy.

Sinekatalog’s take

Alejandro Jodorowsky's unusual English-language fantasy has two eccentrics and a prostitute chasing a hidden legacy. Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif amuse, but the film's whimsy and hampered production make it a muddled oddity.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
