I'm fairly certain there is no 'tunnel of love' scene in this film.

In this film I think she is at her cutest. It is available on DVD from Amazon UK.

I have a very old copy of the film. A DVD version was released in 2010 and is available from Amazon UK.

Merle Oberon was so beautiful! She was british, but actually came from India, and was of half-Indian and half-british blood. She virtually kept this fact a secret her entire career. This is from a rare, 1938 comedy she did with Laurence Olivier- just before "Wuthering Heights"(again with Olivier,1939). She did have a sense of humor, and you should see the entire film if you can find it (I was lucky to find it on VHS). "Princess Merle" by Charles Higham(1983) is a wonderful biography.

I have an old VHS copy that's terrible quality. I'm glad to see a new DVD has been released!
