Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to a 1987 "Films in Review" article Jane Powell said, "It was a terrible movie. Dwan had no interest in it; and Dana Andrews was drinking at the time. It was really a fiasco! The best thing about it was that it gave the family a great vacation in Acapulco."

Featured review
Powell deserved better in final starring film role
You can sometimes judge an actor or actress by how well they carry themselves in a poor film.
That is the case here with Jane Powell.
Aside from being so stunning, she is full of charm with some great acting qualities.
She should have been a huge star in the 1950's but Hollywood made so many bad movies during this period of transition into the television age.
Not only were there so few good movies made but the number of good roles for women were even harder to find.
I was circumspect as to how Powell might perform in one of these natives meet the white man type of movies but she singlehandedly pulled it off and made it worth watching.
Most of the film is unbearable aside from a few nice shots.
The screenplay is ludicrous.
That is hard to do because this about one of the worst movies I have ever seen.
