Comment
A rubber plantation owner (Jack Hawkins) and his wife (Claudette Colbert) battle rebels attacking their plantation in Malaya. This film shows its origins in the early 1950's in its portrayal of post-war colonialism, though there is a strong performance from Claudette Colbert as the wife protecting her family.
