In turn-of-the-century Venezuela a wealthy young man (Perkins) flees into the jungle after his father is killed by revolutionaries. His plan is to find enough gold to finance his revenge. He falls in with a tribe of jungle headhunters who own gold trinkets, and surmises it comes from the enchanted forest not even they will enter anymore. Perkins does enter and finds it the domain of the mysterious Rima the Bird Girl (Hepburn), and her grandfather (Cobb).
I have nothing good to say about this movie. Even with some on-location shots, the studio shots are fakey. The acting and characterizations are so hackneyed and forced that it's impossible to suppress groans and laughter. The story is so improbable, the dialogue so stilted...but you get the picture. Grade F.
