I remember watching this in 3 parts on Walt Disney's Sunday night TV show in breathtaking black and white (we didn't have a color TV). Many of the Disney shows were theatrical quality, shot all over the world with international casts; something unique for that time period. One note: the trivia on the IMDb site claims this to be director Don Chaffey's final film. Not true. He remained working in film and TV until the late 80's, most memorably directing the original Jason and the Argonauts as well as Raquel Welch in One Million Years BC.
