Directed by Hugo Fregonese, a tale of oil and lust in South America. I adore her, but this one is one of Barbara’s worst 50s movies. She looks terrible and so does Gary Cooper - the drinking and smoking was catching up with them both. Anthony Quinn is decent as the husband she wanted to leave for Gary’s character. Ruth Roman costars as a rival for Gary Cooper’s affections. The dialogue sucks and the plot is so weak that it’s nonexistent. Not even Barbara’s supernatural ability to rise above bad material can save this mess. An okay theme song by Frankie Lane.
