I don't know if that's CC under that distant waterfall, but some judicious freeze framing during her milk bath in Sign of the Cross (in the same box set) shows that she wasn't entirely a shy girl.

I never got to see the film again until I was able to obtain a VHS copy from a fellow film collector at a movie convention in orlando,Fla. about 10 yrs ago. This is one outstanding film!

But I guess it's only loosely related. Great film and truly strange as well. I've always thought of this as part of the "Admirable

DeMille</strong>'s movies seem wackier the more I see them now that so many of the less well known ones have been issued on dvd. Since I'm one of the few people on the planet who finds <strong>Herbert Marshall</strong> pretty appealing as he aged on film in everything from <strong>Trouble in Paradise</strong> to <strong>Angel</strong> to <strong>The Enchanted Cottage</strong> to <strong>The Fly, </strong>I suspect that this is a must-see. I also can't wait to see if <strong>Mary Boland</strong>'s capture by the natives isn't a bit like O.Henry's <em>"The Ransom of Red Chief" </em>with the indigenous people's begging to give her back to civilization. Thanks for alerting me to this movie's availability.    Your well written description of this legendary "beach
