This book is one one of my favorite. Yep, that's right, it was a book first! From the two videos I can tell that the screenwriters took QUITE a few liberties. And, of course, the 50's style. I would like to see the entire movie (but I think I like the book better lol).

@AnastaziaDesmond I didn't know it was a book first. I haven't read it so I can't say if the screenwriters took liberties or not, but it wouldn't surprise me. Also my edit of the footage leans heavily to Ms. Fleming's scenes which may not accurately reflect the feel of the actual movie.

"a tasty morsel should always be well-served" and "such spirit amuses me" -awesome lines. Thanks for letting me discover Rhonda Fleming. ;p Can I have her wardrobe?

[MollyWhipple]

@JessiLune

You're welcome. And her wardrobe is mine... all mine!

Never seen this 50's flick....but it must be a pip with a cast like Jeff Chandler and Rhonda Fleming and in gorgeous Technicolor. THANKS for posting! :)

[MollyWhipple]

@JubalCalif You're welcome. This was a really fun one with peril galore. Rhonda Fleming is the seminal strong heroine here. One of my childhood faves for sure.

[JubalCalif]

@MollyWhipple

I second that emotion, Molly! Rhonda's not only one of the most beautiful ladies to have ever graced the silver screen but she always had a charismatic, strong & forceful personality. Since you're a fan of hers, it's OBVIOUS you're a person of class, intelligent & rare distinction! CHEERS !!! :-)

[MollyWhipple]

@JubalCalif Thanks. I love peril and strong action heroines.

[JubalCalif]

@MollyWhipple

You're welcome! Me too! Happy Holidays...may ALL your wishes & dreams come true in the New Year! :-)

[hamishray]

@JubalCalif She has now.

[Livelovecherishelife]

I admire her so much!

One of my favorites....if only Hong Kong and Crosswinds and Tropic Zone were available on DVD....I should be happy, happy, happy.

[MollyWhipple]

@1Iamjim

I couldn't agree more. Why can't we get studio releases of more of these old classic matinee films?

[1Iamjim]

@MollyWhipple It's a cosmic mystery why every B to Z movie is released on DVD, yet these wonderful classics are maliciously kept from our viewing pleasure. I see Rhonda has a website; I was hoping to ask her why my faves haven't been released but couldn't email from my current mail address. Anyway, she is much appreciated by all of us. Best, jim

Saw this movie as a kid in the 50's and loved it. I especially liked when the bad guy was tossed over the wall by Jeff Chandler and impaled on an elephant tusk! Yummy with lots of blood!

[ga21299]

rhonda was one the most beautiful women of all time, a gift from the gods

[dogiehogan]

Yep.

And may I recommend SLIGHTLY SCARLET (1955), with a stunning and underrated Rhonda Fleming (in Technicolor-widescreen) too!

[hamishray]

@ga21299 She still is.

[hamishray]

@ga21299 Correction - Not a gift from the gods but a gift from God, our Heavenly Father.
