An exceptional story set in the jungle of Java. Almost a Doctors without borders scenario. Rock Hudson maintains a high standard throughout. Magnificently presented and a great music score.
Some reviewers say it is overlong and drawn out. These are probably viewers who were not around in 1960 when this film was made. Movies back then had much more dialogue and less fast editing and action than those today. At 2 hours 19 minutes it is certainly shorter than many movies of 2021 and thereabouts.
Well worth a view and stay with it as the suspense builds and builds to an ultimate conclusion.
