New York socialite Amanda Dartland (Jane Russell) is stranded when her car breaks down. Jonathan Dartland (Jeff Chandler) and his drunken friend Dr. Hugh Slater stop to pick up the beauty. She is dismissive of the local natives and he hides his half-Indian roots at first. His mother is Princess Saba of the Apaches.
I turned around and the leads are suddenly getting married. There is no dating drama. There is no breakup and no makeup drama. It's missing all the good parts. I like the start where she's a bit of a racist and he's a bit of a stiff. Their relationship should be given more time to grow before they rush into the marriage. I don't really like them together so their melodrama is less appealing. She's high maintenance and he's too angry. Russell's appeal has always been her figure. In this one, her spunkiness adds some appeal but there is no appeal with his brooding internalized anger. The pairing could be so much better if they could dial back the frustration.
