    • Trivia
      Vivien Leigh was originally cast. Her mental illness began affecting things during filming, and she was replaced by Dame Elizabeth Taylor. Many long shots and shots from behind are still of Leigh.
    • Goofs
      At the beginning of the film, John Wiley (Peter Finch) does a voiceover reading of a page from "The Diary of Elephant Walk", shown on screen. Near the bottom of the page, Wiley (Finch), reading it aloud, says, "It was pouring with rain," even though the text seen on the screen reads "It was pouring rain." (In fact, as an Englishman, Wiley would normally have said - and written - "pouring with rain". "Pouring rain" is the American usage.)
    • Quotes

      Ruth Wiley: Oh, what a beautiful view!

      John Wiley: That's the elephant walk where the place got its name. Before the governor built here, the elephants used to come down that track for centuries to get to the water.

      Ruth Wiley: They don't still try to come through do they?

      John Wiley: Elephants always remember.

    Old fashiond fun
    Corny but fun film of the 50's. Except for her first scene in the bookstore, Liz Taylor looks gorgeous, especially outfitted as she is. Every curve and then some shows. A bit talky at first, but gains momentum as picture goes on. Lush scenery, although some process shots look...well like process. Peter Finch is good as the head of the tea plantation and is a bit ruthless at times. Good guy Dana Andrews shows up as a good romantic interest when needed. Whom will Liz end up with? The elephant stampede at the end is well worth the price of admission. By the way, the DVD transfer is great. Worth a look just to see the 50's style filming..No sex, violence, foul language. OK for the whole family.
