Curiosidades
Rita Moreno was in the Philippines making this film when she was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as Maria in West Side Story. She eventually decided to make the 15-hour flight to Los Angeles for the Oscar ceremony, despite not expecting to win. She did in fact win, but then had to depart the next day because she was needed on the set for this film (largely forgotten today), thereby missing out on interviews, congratulatory calls and telegrams, and other celebrations of her win.

Citas
Dr. John David Saunders: [to Capt. De Guzman] You ever catch a bullet, let me know. I'd love to probe around for it.

Better than average movie with lots of action and beautiful Phillipine locales.

This George Montgomery film is better than average. He plays a cynical doctor who is being sent by the Spanish to a prison camp on the island of Samar for his political beliefs. The compassionate commandant (played by Gilbert Roland) has been waiting for a doctor. He is planning to lead the residents of the camp to a new life in the interior. On the way they must fight headhunters, mosquitoes, dense jungle and mud. Montgomery reluctantly goes, because he has no choice. By the time they arrive at their destination, a lost city in the jungle, Montgomery has found a cause and romance. The movie is predictable but pleasant to watch.

The cast led by Montgomery, Roland and Israeli actress Ziva Rodan do a good job with what little they have to work with. The colorful locales, action and Rodan's costumes more than make up for the pedestrian plot and script. I would watch it again if I had the chance. Unfortunately, it is rarely shown these days.
