So much average
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
I did not know this little programmer, and not the director either. I suppose that's Jack Warner's son. The great Jack Warner. Of course, it's a B picture, set in studio instead of actual locations in south Asia, as it would supposed to be. A not very surprising adventure tale although, but pleasant enough to keep you interested in this story about planters who have to fight against rebels in the jungle. The usual stuff, nothing more. John Ireland made many of those grade B movies, mostly unknown from the audiences. And made by nearly unknown directors. Worth the watching. That's my opinion.
