Jean Peters was a dedicated and versatile actress who was one of the early leading ladies who could fake an accent. Spaniards do not have a distinct accent when speaking English but it is noticeable (I've been to Spain over 50 times on business). I feel Jean Peters carried this film, although it was perfectly suitable for Tyrone Power and he acted admirably, but where was the accent. Just like John Wayne, but unlike Marlon Brando, Tyrone could not fake an accent. Seriously, Tyrone Power was a better actor than John Wayne. Need I say more......who wasn't? The only disappointment to me was that there was no evidence that the Captain and Catana (Peters) ever crossed the Atlantic. It would have added reality to the film had there been even a brief launching of the ship and crossing of the Ocean.
