...even if Galindez and Murphy are forgotten, the strongman's state has little chance of rivaling traditional Caribbean vacation lands. The few tourists who do visit it return to report a polite but lifeless people, depressingly adept at following the rules of appeasing egomania, but no fit company for a fling...

Her half brother (James Mason), who really does have Negro blood, imagines that he is also a cuckold, and so murders his supposed rival in a fit of pique. The movie's single solid acting job is by John Williams as a shrewd constabulary chief. The movie gets no distance at all in solving Santa Marta's color problem, but the color photography is beautiful...
