As the discovery of an ancient map leads to the archaeological search for a long-lost sculptor's studio, the outcome hardly seems as though it will be victorious for anyone, right from the beginning. Two Italian art forgers are in competition with an American dealer to lay claim to the ancient site and its treasures, yet the sparse dialogue, sensitive cinematography, and interest in human nature tend to undermine the impact of any action or drama in this film. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
