The Witch's Curse (1962)

Charles Fawcett: Il dottore

Quotes 

• Doctor : There, there is the tree that no one dare cut down. The people believe that it harbors the spirit of the witch that persecutes them. You'll have to destroy it if you want to free our village from her curse and save that poor girl who's condemned to die at the stake in a few days.

• Doctor : The court won't change its verdict. The fear of the unknown is still too great for them to inquire further. And so she must die on suspicion.

• Doctor : Before you make your report, think of the poor women. They'll be tried for witchcraft and then burned.

  Burgomeister : Would you rather have this continue? Every day now, a new case occurs - each time more serious. Before it's too late, we must tear this evil out by the roots.

  Doctor : But do you really believe in the existence of the devil and witchcraft?

  Burgomeister : The women are going mad. That's my explanation. They're mad and the evil which you insist on fighting, with such obstinacy, is more than supernatural. It's devilish!

• [last lines] 

  Burgomeister : We thank you. You alone have accomplished a miracle and have freed the people of this village from a terrible curse. And peace has returned to us. Stay with us.

  Maciste : It's impossible as my destiny leads me to help other people. People who are suffering from oppression and cruelty all over the troubled world.

  Charley Law : Thank you.

  Martha Gaunt : Thank you.

  Doctor : Goodbye, Maciste.
