    Still Looking Good After Over Sixty Years
    This film must have been an extremely strenuous undertaking both as producer & star for the late Chips Rafferty.

    There's the usual paternalistic attitude to the locals and problems with witch doctors, but not excessively so to modern sensibilities; and the tone is in the main quietly level-headed. After Rafferty's predictable initial opposition to bringing French woman doctor Françoise Christophe along, she too is eventually allowed to settle into the team and behave like a pro.

    And Carl Kayser's Eastman Color photography is terrific!
