kevin w It's the white man's burden once again, out in the steamy heat of the stinking tropics, surrounded by unintelligible savages...and their women, driven by their unimaginable lusts! The boys put up a good fight but Hedy Lamarr, painted in blackface and breathing heavily through every scene, an undeniable force of nature, steals this opus which is not so much about race as about fear of the opposite sex. A product of old shadows, yes perhaps, but relevant for the apt portrait of ancient superstitions. And fun besides. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Silly jungle junk but Hedy is ravishing. If that's enough for you this is worth watching once but only once. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Hedy Lamar plays African native seductress Tondelayo, luring great white hunger Walter Pidgeon and other sugar plantation Englishmen to do her bidding. The story and characters are extremely corny, not to mention the rampart racism throughout the film. The only reason to watch this film is for the unbelievably gorgeous Lamar, who was popular in her day but sadly never seemed to have appeared in any film classics, causing her to become somewhat of a forgotten Hollywood star.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting little production in which a forewarned English man is seduced and betrayed by an infamous, seductive native- played with viscious sex appeal by the beautiful Hedy Lamarr. It isn't exactly brilliant, but its jungle setting and brutal climax make it worthwhile. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
