If you covered it with garbage ...

...George Sanders would still have style (Ray Davis,"Celluloid heroes") Treacherous,diabolical,suave,cynical,sadistic ,but with a lot of class ,a touch of aristocracy ,an infinite refinement and a zest of noblesse oblige,Sanders was the villain of that era ;To see him play opposite dashing Tyrone Power is once more cause for celebration.Add Gene Tierney and it is a dream come true;too bad the actress's appearance does not exceed 20 min,but Power has nevertheless plenty of time to teach this Tahitian girl some elements of Shakespeare's language.

Power portrays the proud hero ,whose wicked uncle takes to his home (the young man's home in fact)to make him a stable lad.This lord has stolen everything from his late brother but the nephew is not prepared to accept it.He is abetted by his grand pa and a crude girl with a golden heart.

Very entertaining and the scenes where Power and Sanders play together are just a joy.

Hasn't the ending got something from Rousseau or Thoreau?
