One of my favorite movies from my childhood, 5 May 2000
9/10
Author: ecohen49 from Sag Harbor, NY USA

A fine classic adventure story with a beautiful and exotic heroine. When I was a boy, I fell in love with Cecile Aubrey. I watched this film whenever it was shown on TV, and that was in the days of black and white. I didn't even know the movie was filmed in color. The characters and story line will hold your interest from first to last. Catch it if you can.
