GATE OF HELL does have numerous historical virtues, starting with the visual treatment....It was primarily intended to catch the eye.

TV Guide
More than anything else, it is the color and photography which makes this production that of a superlative quality. Each scene is a priceless picture in itself, and the whole thing is a rare pictorial poem.
