Seen as WALK INTO HELL, as apparently doctored up by Joseph E Levine. 35mm print still blazing with color. The mademoiselle doctor is charming, though the romance is tepid. The real-life District Officer, Fred Kaad, is a screen natural! Excellent picture of colonialist society of Papua-New Guinea at the time. Compare with MOGAMBO? Camera-work is fluent and lively, scenery looks as spectacular as producers intended, and almost as it really is.
Several crew had earlier worked with Robinson on Australian Government documentaries -- good way to scout a production! Auric's music is ordinary, a pity, obviously he came in at the end.
