When his father is murdered by a corrupt political regime, Abel (Anthony Perkins) flees Caracas and for the Venezuelan forests, searching for hidden gold to fund his revenge. In the jungle, he finds Rima (Audrey Hepburn), a "bird girl" who has reverted to a natural and innocent state. Rima was raised by an evil grandfather who still tries to exercise dominion over her. It is up to Abel to try and save the girl from her grandfather, and also to protect her from superstitious natives.

The ethereal Audrey Hepburn was a good choice to portray a mysterious "bird girl"...but Mel Ferrer's ponderous direction and a gauzypoetic ending defeat the worthy project.

One of Audrey Hepburn's few bad films, a pretentiously mythic and romantic tale, misdirected by her husband Mel Ferrer, and further suffering from lack of chemistry with Anthony Perkins.

Like a naive painting, this is a naive movie. It will be loved by some, but not by many.
