Not a bad movie. Always appreciate old films with talented actresses and actors. If to anylize this concept even more, it's really going back to a much different era in a time machine. Really it's a wired plot about a man whom uses magic trickery towards the natives to do his will. His guns are called boomsticks to further this illusion. He is crippled, but has a life long revenge plan towards the man who crippled him. The ending is a bit far fetched, expecially after the abuse Virginia Bruce character's takes from the main villain. The pretty Lupe Velez is in this pre code production too. Walter Huston stars as the crippled villain, whom in real life is John Huston's father. Probably my all time classic cinema director. The dvd is of good quality, the story line okay. Anything with early mexican Hollywood star Lupe Velez is a treat. It's a entertaining film. Comical at times when the natives grunt in approval from Flint's commands. I always like writing these reviews about old movies. Maybe future viewers might get educated by watching these movies. I might get educated by reading their reviews. I might even get back on facebook again. But I much love watching these old movies whom Anna May Wong, Deborah Kerr, Clark Gable, Robert Mitchum, Joan Crawford grace my tv screen, then to text all the time. Too honor the memories of these stars is not look up so called scandals and gossip, but to honor their dedicated acting ability by letting the eyes and mind observe what's going on in the picture. Then say, "uum yes. This movie will definitely be in my lovely collection of my quality entertainment inventory of dvds so I can watch it again.". PEACERead full review

This is a very dark, unpleasant film, but there is no denying it is well-made and powerful, especially considering its age. Walter Huston plays a wheelchair-bound man who gets revenge on a rival by kidnapping his daughter, forcing her into prostitution, turning her into an alcoholic, and eventually setting her up to be murdered in a voodoo ceremony. This may sound too over-the-top to be taken seriously, but Huston makes it work; and just when you think there is no point to watching this sadist commit one heinous act after another, an unexpected twist elicits some sympathy for him. No one in this film is a hero. Even the "good" people are greedy, adulterous, drug-addicted, promiscuous, and racist. This film is definitely not for children, although nothing explicit is shown, merely talked about. Because the characters are so flawed, it makes their rare moments of honesty and sacrifice all the more poignant. If you like vintage black and white drama, this is a must-see...once. But I wouldn't want to be alone with someone who actually ENJOYS watching it again and again!Read full review
