    Colorful adventure yarn
    Edward Ludwig was a specialist of adventure movies: WAKE OF THE RED WITCH, JIVARO, CARIBBEAN, FLAME OF THE ISLANDS. This one is a good film, for those who are nostalgic of this fifties period, a period that provided an atmosphere which we will never see again. Jeff Chandler is as good as usual in this role made for him. Exotic perfume, action scenes, romance on the South seas and islands, what else can we ask for?
