A trite melodrama with far too many moralistic and religious themes.
However, sappy old movie lover that I am, I enjoyed it.
It held a lot of potential with the dashing Young Anthony Quinn, Richard Egan and a cute little Indian girl in a very young Rita Moreno that I didn't even recognize.
And this movie was 1955 and Rita Moreno is still around--67 years later in a TV series. Check her out!
This movie held out quite a bit of potential, but bogged down and ended up being more like a two act play: the journey from Mexico City and then troubles with the Indian at their first coastal port of San Diego.
But the ending was poorly conceived and even possibly holding back the movie from major release by 20th century Fox.
There are plenty of long reviews much more descriptive and cheerie than mine, I just wanted to point out some different observations.
