Curiosidades
According to Sir Christopher Lee, not only was this movie never properly announced by the press, it was also wrongly trailed by a repeat sign when first aired on Channel 4. This could explain why it was virtually ignored by critics throughout.

Citas
Rabbi Moses: When the lion invites the mouse to a disputation, your majesty, the mouse, however fond he may be of arguing, would do well to avoid the disputation if he can; for the poor mouse does not know which to fear most: losing the argument or winning it.

Based on real 13th century events.

This film is based on real life events during the reign of King James I of Aragon. Unlike in other parts of Spain which were either controlled by the Muslim Moors or other Christian kinds, James seemed to want to have an open discussion and debate between an esteemed Jewish rabbi and a Christian convert...and as such, he promised no retributions against the Jews no matter the outcome. This is important because many prior Disputations resulted in increased persecution of the Jews. So, on July 20-24, 1263, a series of debates or 'disputations' occurred...and both sides claimed victory.

This film is a dramatization of the events and comes off more like a play than a movie. This is not a complaint...just a description of the style. The best thing about this movie aren't sets anyway...but the fine acting. This is particularly true in a most unusual performance by Christopher Lee....and because of this, it's well worth seeing...to see excellent acting with a minimum of accoutrements other than costumes.
