the story/narrative seems somewhat short, un-engaging and at times fairly tedious in its character portrayals which at times lean towards the comical, i.e. the grandfather, the natives etc. Every character seems like a parody of what you would expect.
BUT... it is worth watching for the sheer fact that to have a film with both Gene Tierney and Frances Farmer in is pretty damn unusual! Tierney is not given the best of lines, in fact they are pretty awful - however, she's young and radiant before her starring roles in Laura and Leave her to Heaven. Likewise, Farmer is elegant and poised.
An okay film, worth watching for Tierney and Farmer, but not worth buying IMHO.
