Warning: Spoilers
In a year that she won critical acclaim, the N.Y.C. Film Critics Award and the 3rd of 5 Oscar nominations in "The Nun's Story," how in heaven did Audrey Hepburn manage to make such a clinker as "Green Mansions?"

Tony Perkins flees a Venezuelan revolution and plots revenge. We never hear about this subject again and how he is going to go about extracting revenge for the killing of his father.

Instead, we are subjected to his meeting with a tribe and he proves he is manly. He is sent off to kill a girl in the neighboring forest who killed the elder of Sessue Haywakawa's son. Hayakawa is briefly seen and does little to nothing in the film.

We are subjected to fights, nice scenery and beautiful nature. Lee J. Cobb, who plays Hepburn's alleged grandfather isn't even the grandfather.

If the tree she was hiding in went up in those spectacular flames, it is presumed that Hepburn was dead. She came back to him through nature. A first class stinker of major proportions.
