In World War One East Africa, a down-at-heel boat owner helps a missionary flee from the Germans, but she has revenge on her mind.
A rollicking film, part men's adventure, part romance novel, that still remains fresh sixty years on. The German are comic strip caricatures, but it's Huston, so what do you expect? As remarkable and impressive for what went on behind the camera as for what ended up on the big screen. A must see.
