      ashley h Seven Cities of Gold i an excellent film. It is about a Spanish expedition is looking for seven cities of gold in a territory now known as California in the 18th century. Anthony Quinn and Rita Moreno give remarkable performances. The screenplay is well written. Robert D. Webb did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the adventure.
