Cast

Reception

"Werb." of Variety found the film to be a "modest imitation" of American styled romantic adventure films, noting "fine photography, sets, costuming and music" but that "screenplay is one of the major flaws but it is difficult to determine whether vet Italo writer Ennio De Concini and director Duccio Tessari are responsible or whether fault is with collaborators Brian Degas and Tudor Gates."[4]
